there  is  time  there.  (Have  we  not  heard  strange  time, 
dark  time,  strange  tragic  time  there?  Have  we  not  heard 
dark  time,  strange  time,  the  dark,  the  moving  tide  of  time 
as  it  flows  down  the  river?) 

And  in  the  night  time,  in  the  dark  there,  in  all  the 
sleeping  silence  of  the  earth  have  we  not  heard  the  river,  the 
rich  immortal  river,  full  of  its  strange  dark  time? 

Full  with  the  pulse  of  time  it  flows  there,  full  with  the 
pulse  of  all  men  living,  sleeping,  dying,  waking  it  will  flow 
there,  full  with  the  billion  dark  and  sacret  moments  of  our 
lives  it  flows  there.  Filled  with  all  the  hope,  the  madness  and 
the  passion  of  our  youth  it  flows  there,  in  the  daytime,  in  the 
dark,  drinking  with  ceaseless  glut  the  land,  mining  into  its 
tides  the  earth  as  it  mines  the  hours  and  moments  of  our  life 
into  its  tides,  moving  against  the  sides  of  ships,  foaming 
about  piled  crustings  of  old  wharves,  sliding  like  time  and 
silence  by  the  vast  cliff  of  the  city,  girdling  the  stony  isle  of 
life  with  moving  waters — thick  with  the  wastes  of  earth,  dark 
with  our  stains,  and  heavied  with  our  dumpings,  rich,  rank, 
beautiful,  and  unending  as  all  life,  all  living,  as  it  flows  by 
us,  by  us,  by  us,  to  the  sea!

Facing  our  task  of  depicting  the  passing  schoolyear  in 
these  pages,  the  Staff  of  the  1948  MURMURMONTIS  was 
acutely  aware  of  the  words  "time  and  change"  which  are 
the  lifeblood  of  any  college  annual.  Our  thinking  about  time 
and  change  took  a  philosophical  turn  and  we  met  one 
Heraclitus,  sage  of  the  Ephesus  of  ancient  Greece.  His 
imperturbable  wisdom,  reducing  time  and  change  to  the 
delightful  metaphor,  "you  can't  step  into  the  same  river 
twice,"  started  us  thinking  of  time  and  change  in  terms  of 
moving  water. 

This  trend  of  thought  led  us  directly  to  the  enormously 
modern  Thomas  Wolfe  and  his  expansive  novel,  Of  Time  and 
The  River,  in  which  he  likened  the  ceaseless-change  character 
of  time  to  the  eternal  flow  of  a  mighty  river.  We  knew 
instantly  we'd  found  the  theme  material  for  which  we'd  been 
searching  when  we  came  on  those  time-river  paragraphs  of 
Wolfe's  which  appear  opposite  the  title  page  of  this  '48 
MURMURMONTIS. 

Wolfe's  time-river  analogy  inspired  the  cover  design  in 
which  we  have  sought  to  portray,  in  terms  of  the  theme  and 
in  modern  symbolic  forms,  the  essence  of  time  and  change 
at  Wesleyan  during  the  1947-1948  schoolyear.  The  mouth 
in  the  distant  mountain  range  was  included  for  good  measure 
to  symbolize  the  meaning  of  MURMURMONTIS — namely, 
"the  voice  of  the  mountains."

We  have  been  privileged  to  dedicate  the  1948  MURMUR- 
MONTIS  to  two  of  West  Virginia  Wesleyan's  greatest 
benefactors,  Mary  Lowe  West  and  the  late  Calvin  A.  West. 

Time's  tides  in  their  ceaseless  ebb  and  flow  have  carried 
the  College  far  from  its  early  life  and  death  struggles  with 
the  material  aspects  of  existence.  To  the  many  distinguished 
administrators  who  have  labored  faithfully  in  its  service 
belongs  our  gratitude  for  much  of  the  success  our  Alma 
Mater  has  enjoyed.  We  are  equally  indebted  to  a  small  group 
of  philanthropists  whose  interests  in  higher  education  have 
centered  on  West  Virginia  Wesleyan.  Their  benefactions, 
together  with  the  invaluable  service  rendered  the  College  by 
capable  administrators,  have  immeasurably  ennobled  the 
vision  of  Wesleyan's  founders. 

It  well  behooves  those  of  us  in  the  College  today,  then, 
to  know  our  benefactors — philanthropic  and  administrative 
— and,  knowing  them,  give  eternal  thanks  for  their  united 
interest   in  our  beloved  Alma   Mater,

1871-1936 


*7KuftmcMMtortti&   'Dedication, 


Mary  Lowe  West 


Long  a  prominent  figure  in  the  national  shoe  industry,  the  late 
Mr.  West  was  highly  recognized  in  the  field  for  his  administrative 
leadership  as  a  corporation  director.  He  held  many  patents  covering 
important  technological  processes  basic  in  modern  shoe  manufacture, 
and  he  was,  in  addition,  a  leading  shoe  stylist. 

Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  West  were  long  active  in  the  Church.  Since  the 
death  of  Mr.  West,  in  1936,  Mrs.  West  has  contributed  even  more 
largely  of  her  services  and  resources.  The  lives  of  service  to  others 
lived  by  these  two  notable  West  Virginia  Wesleyan  benefactors  will 
be  remembered  generations  hence  by  students  gathered  to  worship 
in  the  simple  beauty  of  the  Calvin  A.  West  Memorial  Chapel.

The  Men's  Dormitory  Group  will  be 
erected  on  the  north  end  of  the  campus  in 
the  area  between  the  Haymond  Science  Hall 
and  the  old  College  Spring.  $200,000  has 
been  raised  and  set  aside  to  begin  construc- 
tion on  these  buildings  at  an  early  date. 

Each  of  the  two  wings  of  the  dormitory 
group  has  been  designed  to  accommodate  1  10 
men.  A  great  hall,  planned  to  provide  facili- 
ties for  the  social  and  recreational  needs  of 
those  living  in  the  dormitories,  will  eventually 
join  the  wings  which  are  at  present  scheduled 
for  construction  as  separate   units. 


Calvin  A.  West 
Memorial  Chapel 


The  Calvin  A.  West  Memorial  Chapel, 
a  gift  of  his  wife,  Mary  Lowe  West,  has 
been  planned  to  provide  the  campus  com- 
munity  with   a   center   for   worship. 

The  simple  architecture  of  the  building, 
based  on  graceful  Georgian  Colonial  lines, 
will  focus  in  a  spacious  "meeting  place"  the 
spiritual  unity  of  Wesleyan's  religious  herit- 
age. Provision  has  been  made  for  the  installa- 
tion of  a  pipe  organ.  The  Chapel,  it  is 
planned,  will  serve  not  only  as  a  center  for 
regular  services  but  also  as  a  quiet  place  for 
daily    meditation.

The  Loar  Memorial  Hall  of  Music  and

as  labor  and  materials  are  available,  is  the 
gift  of  the  late  Mrs.  Lawson  L  Loar  of 
Clarksburg. 

Mrs.  Loar,  widow  of  a  Clarksburg  business 
executive  and  civic  leader,  designated  the 
College  as  residuary  legatee  in  her  will. 
$100,000  was  allotted  for  construction  costs 
and  $150,000  has  been  established  as  an 
endowment  fund  to  support  and  maintain 
the   Memorial.

The  Annie  Merner  Pfeiffer  Library,  one 
of  the  many  benefactions  made  by  the  late 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Pfeiffer  to  the  cause  of 
higher  education,  has  been  planned  for  con- 
struction in  the  area  north  of  the  Administra- 
tion   Building    near   the    tennis   court. 

The  first  floor  of  this  building  will  house 
the  College  Administrative  offices.  A  large 
reference  and  general  reading  room  will 
occupy  the  second  floor.  Ample  stacks  to 
house  50,000  volumes  are  planned.  An  out- 
standing feature  of  the  building,  a  bas-relief 
memorializing  the  union  of  Methodism  in 
West  Virginia,   will    be   located    in   the   foyer.

"The  Moving  Finger  writes;  and,  having  writ, 
Moves  on:   nor  all  your  Piety  nor  Wit 
Shall   lure  it  back  to  cancel  half  a  Line 
Nor  all  your  Tears  wash  out  a  Word  of  it." 

from   THE   RUBAIYAT  OF   OMAR    KHAYYAM 
by   Fitzgerald. 

Not  only  does  this  volume  mark  another 
year  in  the  history  of  Wesleyan,  recording  as 
it  does  the  outstanding  events  of  the  past 
twelve  months,  but  it  focuses  thought  on 
values.  "For  what  shall  it  profiteth  a  man  if 
he  gain  the  whole  world  and  lose  his  own 
soul." 

You,  who  are  now  leaving  Wesleyan  as 
graduates  look  back  upon  your  time  in  its 
halls  as  precious  memories.  As  you  go  remem- 
ber to  take  time  for  laughter,  for  objective 
thought,  for  clear-headed  study,  to  walk  in 
the  woods  and  to  remember  the  values  of 
life  as  the  days  go  by.  We  charge  you  to 
look  back  on  college  days  with  the  realization 


that  only  those  values  which  survive  are 
worth  giving  time  to.  Therefore,  "lay  up  for 
yourselves  treasures  in  heaven  where  neither 
moss  nor  rock  doth  corrupt  and  where  thieves 
do  not  break  through  or  steal.  For  where 
your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also." 
The  editors  of  the  Murmurmontis  for 
1948,  in  choosing  the  theme  of  "Time  and 
Change,"  have  called  our  attention  to  a 
significant  aspect  of  modern  life.  We  busy 
ourselves  with  endless  details  of  time- 
consuming  trivia  and  miss  the  majesty  of 
life  as  it  flows  ceaselessly  by.  In  the  deeper 
sense  life,  itself,  has  meaning  only  in  terms 
of  the  objectives  for  the  investment  of  Time. 
Wesleyan  has  sought  in  the  past,  and  will 
continue  to  seek  in  the  future,  to  give 
foundation  to  the  meaning  of  life  as  invest- 
ment in  service  to  others — in  the  name  of 
Christ — as  the  consecration  of  life  lived  to 
the   full.

'Pte&tdeKt  o£  t&e  (ZamntUKity  @auKcit 


Seven  years  have  moved  down  the  river 
of  Time  flowing  by  the  Wesleyan  campus 
since  I  arrived  here  in  the  Fall  of  1941  and 
wore  a  Freshman  dinky.  Looking  about  me 
now,  and  back  through  my  memories  of  those 
years,  I  have  the  feeling  Change  was  kept 
constantly   busy. 

Europe,  during  my  Freshman  year,  was 
already  at  war,  but  the  force  of  Hitler's  power 
had  not  then  reached  America  to  any  great 
extent.  Much  less  had  the  thoughts  of  vio- 
lence entered  my  mind — other,  that  is,  than 
the  violence  of  smashing  through  the  line  of 
an  opposing  football  team.  Then,  like  all  of 
you,  I  too  was  finally  shocked,  by  the  attack 
of  the  Japanese  on  Pearl  Harbor,  December 
7,  1941,  into  action  toward  the  defense  of 
our  country.  I  won't  dwell  on  those  war  years 
as  familiar  as  all  of  us  still  are  with  those 
trying   times. 

On  returning  to  Wesleyan  in  the  fall  of 
1946,  the  campus  seemed  to  me  then  to  have 
resisted  Time  and  Change — I  found  it  com- 
fortingly familiar.  There  were  quite  a  few 
familiar  faces,  both  of  the  faculty  and  the 
student  body.  But,  after  being  back  a  while, 
I  soon  began  to  realize  Wesleyan  had  wel- 
comed Change  and  was  thus  better  able  to 
withstand  the  stresses  of  those  war  years.  By 
that,  I  mean  the  spirit  of  West  Virginia 
Wesleyan  had  been  kept  afloat  and  was 
slowly  but  surely  regaining  the  old  buoyancy 


of  pre-war  days.  Gradually,  more  and  more 
former  students  returned  to  the  campus,  and 
the  Freshman  Class  more  than  doubled  since 
the  days  when  I  was  a  Freshman  With  the 
student  body  getting  larger,  greater  was  the 
spirit  of  unity  both   in  study  and   in  play. 

In  keeping  with  the  needs  of  this  greater 
student  population  a  new  Community  Council 
Constitution  was  adopted  this  year.  This 
move,  demanded  by  Time  and  Change,  has 
given  the  students  an  increased  opportunity 
to  participate  more  widely  in  governing  their 
school  activities  and  organizations.  I  believe 
this  one  organization,  alone,  has  done  much 
to  unify  the  college,  and  I'm  sure  it  will 
continue  to  do  so  in  the  years  to  follow.  In 
moving  beyond  Wesleyan  this  year,  the  Senior 
Class  places  its  trust  in  the  classes  we  leave 
here,  and  the  yet  unborn  classes  of  the  future, 
to  maintain  a  high  interest  in  the  Community 
Council.  Their  ideals,  thereby  united,  will  be 
found  to  be  the  stepping  stones  to  the  ideals 
required  for  the  high  level  of  competence  in 
citizenship  expected  of  college   graduates. 

As  we,  the  class  of  1948,  go  our  various 
roads  striving  to  reach  the  goals  of  our  lives, 
we  will  always  remember  and  cherish  in  our 
hearts  our  years  at  West  Virginia  Wesleyan. 
In  passing  on  the  honor  of  my  office  of  the 
Presidency  of  the  Community  Council,  I  want 
to  thank  each  of  you  for  the  splendid  coopera- 
tion  you    have   given   the   Council    this   year.

The  1947-48  schoolyear  has  been  carried  swiftly  along  on 
the  restless  breast  of  the  tide  of  time  flowing  steadily  in  the 
wide  and  deep  expanse  between  the  unmeasured  banks  of 
the  eternal  river.  Seeking  to  capture  in  these  pages  some 
notion  of  the  subtlety  of  Change,  the  itinerant  artist  of  the 
pulsing  time-river,  we  have  tried  to  catch  his  brush  at  work, 
touching  the  year  drifting  on  the  moving  stream  of  time  and 
coloring  it  with  the  confusion,  the  inertia,  the  pain,  the 
pleasure,   the  passion,  and  the  glowing   hope  of  our  youth. 

The  year,  wearied  with  its  minute-measured  journeying, 
slides  silently  into  the  great  mouth  of  the  mighty  river 
through  which  it  will  at  the  last  be  swept  into  the  forever- 
gone  swell  of  the  lost,  limitless  sea  of  remembrances  beyond. 
Given  a  moment  to  sum  the  total  of  those  images  of  the  year 
scattered  two-dimensionally  through  these  pages,  we  see 
clearly  the  tidemarks  of  change  left  on  the  campus  by  the 
alternating  ebbs  and  floods  of  the  restless  river  of  eternal 
time. 

We  are  made  instantly  aware  of  the  loss  of  faces  grown 
familiar  to  us  in  our  daily  contact  with  the  administration, 
the  faculty,  the  staff,  and — more  rarely — with  the  College 
Trustees.  But  in  remembering  these  departed  ones  we  see  an 
array  of  new  faces,  many  of  them,  and  we  see  Change  has 
compensated  for  his  taking  away  of  old  friends  by  adding 
to  our  happy  measure  of  new  friendships.

Clyde   Otis    Low 

President 
Wheeling,   West   Virginia 

Born  in  Lawford,  Ritchie  County, 
West  Virginia,  in  1883,  Clyde  O. 
Law  came  to  Wesleyan  in  1901 
where  he  received  a  B.S.  degree  in 
the  Class  of  1909.  During  those  years 
he  become  associated  with  the  North- 
western Mutual  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany. 

Graduating  from  Harvard  Univer- 
sity with  a  M.B.A.  in  1913,  Mr.  Law 
was  active  in  Clarksburg  until  1920 
when  he  moved  his  family  to  Wheel- 
ing to  become  a  Northwestern  Mutual 
General  Agent.  Active  in  Methodism 
and  anxious  to  serve  his  alma  mater, 
Mr.  Law  was  elected  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees  in  1919.  His  elevation  to 
the  presidency  of  the  Board  in  1932, 
a  post  he  has  since  continuously 
held,  is  evidence  of  the  high  regard 
in  which  he  is  held  for  his  unflagging 
interest  in  promoting  the  fortunes  of 
the   College.

Bishop  James  Henry  Straughn 

Member    Ex -Officio 
Pittsburgh,    Pennsylvania 

Resident  Bishop  of  West  Virginia 
since  1939,  Bishop  Straughn  has 
shown  a  deep  interest  in  the  College 
from  the  beginning  of  his  association 
with  it.  The  fact  that  the  College  has 
received  increased  individual  financial 
support  and  a  greater  student  repre- 
sentation from  the  Pittsburgh  area  in 
recent  years  is  indicative  of  the 
Bishop's  abiding  interest  in  West 
Virginia    Wesleyan. 

Bishop  Straughn  was  born  in  Cen- 
terville,  Maryland,  in  1 877.  He  was 
ordained  in  1 903,  and  he  holds  the 
degrees  of  A.B.,  A.M.,  and  D.D. 
from  Western  Maryland  College.  West 
Virginia  Wesleyan  conferred  the  de- 
gree of  LL.D.  on  him  in  1 94 1 .  The 
Bishop  is  a  Mason  and  a  member  of 
the  Knights  of  Pythias.  He  is  well 
known    as    a    writer    and    a    lecturer.

Change,  no  respector  of  rank  in  the  College  hierarchy,  wielded  his 
subtle  brush  among  the  Administrative  personnel  during  the  year. 

One  broad  stroke  of  his  brush  brought  a  genial  new  face,  that  of 
Charles  R.  Knapp,  to  replace,  as  the  College  Librarian,  Mrs.  Curry, 
who  joined  the  Faculty  Emeritus  at  the  end  of  the  1946-47  school- 
year.  Mr.  Knapp  came  to  Wesleyan  from  the  University  of  Illinois 
where  he  was  in  charge  of  the  Law  Library. 

With  another  bold  sweep  of  his  brush,  Change  introduced  a  new 
administrative  post,  that  of  Assistant  to  the  President,  and  brought 
Myron  S.  Baker  from  the  War  Assets  Administration  in  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  to  fill  the  position.  Mr.  Baker's  appointment,  in  November, 
1947,  came  after  the  individual  portraits  were  taken  for  the 
MURMURMONTIS,  hence  we  were  unable  to  include  his  picture 
on   this  page. 

A  highlight  of  the  year  for  three  of  our  Administrators,  President 
Scarborough,  Dean  Schoolcraft,  and  Treasurer  Williams,  came  on 
the  night  of  the  basketball  game  with  Marshall  College.  Just  before 
the  game  began,  the  three  emerged  somewhat  sheepishly  from  the 
stands  and  led  the  Wesleyan  rooters  in  a  rousing  FIGHT  TEAM' 
Change,  perched  high  in  the  rafters  of  the  gymnasium,  lifted  his 
brush  with  a  satisfied  smile  at  his  handiwork.

One  of  the  final  effects  wrought  by  Change  at  the  close  of  the 
1946-47  schoolyear  was  the  retirement  of  Ora  Douglass  Curry.  After 
twenty  years  of  service,  fourteen  of  them  as  College  Librarian,  Mrs. 
Curry  joined  the  distinguished  ranks  of  the  Members  Emeritus  of  the 
Wesleyan  Faculty.  Like  most  of  her  fellow  Emeriti,  however,  Mrs. 
Curry  has  continued  to  give  part  of  her  time  to  serving  Wesleyan 

As  for  the  other  Members  Emeritus,  Change  continued  to  rock 
them  gently  in  the  forward  current  of  the  pulsing  time-river.  Dr. 
Haught  spent  part  of  the  schoolyear  working  with  Alumni  Secretary 
Foster  on  the  Alumni  Directory  which  was  published  early  in  the 
year.  Former  President  Fleming  (1915-1922)  participated  in  the 
successful  campaign  held  early  in  the  schoolyear  to  raise  the  second 
$100,000  required  to  begin  construction  on  the  proposed  Men's 
Dormitory  Group;  he  has  also  been  active  in  forming  a  committee  of 
the  Methodist  Attorneys  of  West  Virginia  to  work  with  the  College 
in  the  matter  of  settling  wills  and  bequests.  Mrs.  Neil  has  continued, 
in  view  of  the  record  enrollment  of  students,  to  meet  classes  in  the 
required  Fundamentals  of  Speech  course — a  typical  gesture  of  the 
selfless  giving  which  has  endeared  Mrs.  Neil  to  many  students  and 
graduates  of  the  College.  Mrs.  Ogden  is  living  in  retirement  at  her 
home  in  Hadley,  Pennsylvania.

Change  fleefully  wore  his  artful 
brush  to  the  nub  daubing  the  broad, 
heavy  strokes  of  resignations,  re- 
placements, and  additions  Time 
dictated  as  she  swept  the  Faculty 
along  swiftly  in  her  restless  tides 
at  the  beginning  of  the  1947-48 
schoolyear.  A  total  of  six  members 
of  the  previous  year's  Faculty  were 
carried  beyond  the  Wesleyan  cam- 
pus, but  Time  and  Change  compen- 
sated better  than  two-fold  by  cast- 
ing up  no  less  than  thirteen  addi- 
tions to  help  tend  the  record  1947- 
48  student  enrollment. 

Two  resignations,  those  of  Dr. 
Hans  Tischler,  Professor  of  Music, 
and  Dr.  Samuel  D.  Marble,  Professor 
of  Political  Science,  were  balanced 
in  the  professorial  rank  by  two 
additions,  Dr.  E.  V.  Bowers,  Pro- 
fessor of  Psychology,  and  Dr. 
George  H.  McKee,  Professor  of 
Spanish.  Professor  Tischler  left 
Wesleyan  after  a  period  of  two 
year's  service.  Professor  Marble, 
after  one  year  here,  left  to  become 
President  of  Wilmington  College, 
Wilmington,  Ohio  —  the  youngest 
college  president  in  the  country. 

Professor  Bowers  came  to  Wes- 
leyan after  a  distinguished  twenty- 
five  years  of  service  at  Marshall 
College,  the  last  six  of  which  he 
served  as  Dean  of  the  College  of 
Arts  and  Sciences.  Professor  McKee 
was  associated  with  the  New  Lon- 
don extension  of  the  University  of 
Connecticut  before  coming  to  Wes- 
leyan.

Especially  active  in  the  associate 
professorial  rank,  Change  removed 
two  familiar  faces,  Marie  D.  Boette 
and  Louise  H  Tischler,  both  of  the 
Dept.  of  Music,  and  presented  a 
total   of  eight  new  associates. 

Professor  Arnold  came  to  Wes- 
leyan  from  o  junior  college  in  his 
home  city  of  Moline,  III.  Mr.  Bart- 
ley  came  from  Lincoln  Junior  Col- 
lege, Lincoln,  Neb.  Professor  Dow- 
ney brought  to  his  work  here  the 
fruits  of  his  studies  at  the  Univer- 
sities of  Virginia,  Chicago,  and 
Johns  Hopkins.  Choir  Director  For- 
lines  brought  a  rich  background  of 
studies  in  music,  he  came  here 
from  Morris  Harvey  College.  Com- 
ing here  from  William  and  Mary 
College,  the  Richmond  Division, 
Professor  Nichols  has  completed  a 
substantial  amount  of  work  toward 
his   Ph.    D.   degree  at  Columbia    U. 

Professor  Pollard,  a  graduate  of 
Boston  University,  teaches  Piano 
and  Music  Theory.  Mr.  Rice,  who 
was  appointed  Director  of  Religious 
Activities  at  the  beginning  of  the 
second  semester,  came  to  Wesleyan 
from  McKendree  College  where 
President  Scarborough  formerly 
taught.  Professor  Shaver  brought  to 
Wesleyan  his  experience  in  teach- 
ing at  Northwestern  Missouri  State 
Teachers  College.  Mr.  Davis,  a  Wes- 
leyan alumnus,  recently  completed 
graduate  studies  at  the  University 
of  Pittsburgh.  Professor  Godwin  has 
his  Master's  degree  almost  com- 
pleted at  Washington  University.

*7^e  ^acuity 


Change  was  doubly  active  too  among  the 
ranks  of  the  Assistant  Professors  and  the  In- 
structors. Three  resignations  were  noted,  those 
of  Assistant  Professor  of  Speech,  Ronald  E. 
Sleeth,  and  two  Instructors,  Francis  B.  St. 
Clair,  Business  Administration,  and  John  Scott 
Withers,  Physics  and  Mathematics.  Two  addi- 
tions in  the  Assistant  Professorial  rank  were 
Sidney  D.   Davis  and  John  C   Godwin. 

Other  effects  produced  by  the  activity  of 
restless  Change  were  the  promotions  of  Miss 
Knepshield  and  Miss  Moore  to  Associate  and 
Assistant  Professorships  respectively.  Miss 
Wilson,  on  her  appointment  as  full-time 
Director  of  Student  Activities,  relinquished  her 
Assistant  Professorship  in  Religious  Education

Easing  up  somewhat  on  his 
worn  brush,  Change  noted  the 
passage  of  the  office  staff  of  the 
College  in  the  swift  stream  of 
Time.  He  moved  Billie  Lou  Whet- 
hered  with  her  shiny,  new  Wes- 
leyan  B  A.  into  Mr,  Foster's 
Alumni  Office  where  she  took  over 
the  post  of  the  Secretary's  secre- 
tary. Mary  Ann  Law  left  off  her 
role  of  student  and  was  added  to 
the  staff  in  the  Dean's  Office. 
Another  student  addition  to  the 
staff  in  the  Dean's  Office,  but  on 
a  part-time  basis,  was  Mildred 
Barckley  who  handles  Public  Law 
346  veteran's  records. 

Dr.  Hupp's  secretary,  Nita  Ham- 
ilton, and  Mr.  Baker's  secretary, 
Audrey  W.  Riffe,  were  appointed 
too  late  in  the  schoolyear  to  have 
their  pictures  included  in  these 
pages.

Mrs.  Ada  W.  Bedell  felt  the  touch  of  the 
subtle  brush  of  Change  near  the  end  of  the 
first  semester  of  the  1947-48  schoolyear;  she 
resigned  as  the  College  Avenue  House  Head 
of  Residence.  Mrs.  Maude  Mick  heeded  the 
beckoning  finger  of  Chonge  and  accepted 
the   position. 

Another  of  the  many  new  faces  Change 
introduced  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  was 
Jean  Ann  McFadden  who  took  on  the  task  of 
planning  menus  in  the  College  dining  rooms. 
Madge  Martin  greeted  Change  happily  as  she 
surveyed  the  health  office  and  infirmary  the 
Time-Artist  opened  for  her  use  in  the  new 
Student   Center   building. 

Change,  who  moves  ever  to  the  fore  and 
pauses  not  a  second  to  glance  back  over  his 
shoulder,  tarried  not  at  all  as  the  1947-48 
schoolyear  drew  to  a  close.  Our  final  glimpse 
of  the  itinerant  artist  of  the  time-river  turned 
our  faces,  like  his,  to  the  future.  Change,  with 
a  smile  of  anticipation,  was  selecting  a  new 
brush — a  fine  broad  one — for  the  busy  1948- 
49  schoolyear  he  saw  drifting  down  the 
eternal    river.

Mining  into  its  swift,  dark  tides  the  silent,  precious 
seconds  of  yet  another  year  of  our  lives,  the  immortal  river 
has  swept  us  all  still  further  along  the  downstream  course  of 
our  great  journey.  Carrying  us  from  our  green-hued  freshman 
days  through  the  cynic  sophomore  year  and  the  sudden 
seriousness  of  junior  status  to  our  wisdom-wizened  senior 
pedestal,  the  impassive  movement  of  stolid  Time  has  loosed 
Change  upon  us  all.  Just  as  the  campus  buildings  have 
weathered  a  barely  perceptible  deeper  shade  and  the  campus 
trees  have  added  an  unnoticed  ring  to  their  girth,  so  have  we 
all  stood  silent  this  year  while  Change  wrought  the  subtle 
effects  of  his  skillful   brush   upon   us. 

Bobbing  quietly  in  the  great  mouth  of  the  immortal  river 
in  the  moment  left  before  it  is  finally  swept  irrevocably  out 
into  the  lost  sea  of  Time  beyond,  the  Class  of  1948  sees  with 
the  startling  clarity  of  sudden  insight  the  whole  of  Time's 
carefully  calculated  schedule.  For  a  second  the  broad  canvas 
of  life  stands  spread  wide  before  the  Class,  and  they  see 
Change  impatiently  beckoning  them  on  to  the  tasks  he  has 
set  for  them  in  the  year  immediately  ahead. 

More,  they  see  that  as  the  Class  of  1944  had  to  move  on 
to  make  room  for  them  so  they  must  now  make  room  for  the 
yet  unshaped  Class  of  1952  forming  on  the  uppermost 
reaches  of  the  pulsing  time-river.

Features  of  the  1948  campus 
community  undreamed  of  as  little 
as  five  years  ago — and  probably 
destined  to  be  equally  unheard  of 
five  years  hence — are  the  bright 
and  shining  faces  of  these  chil- 
dren, offspring  of  Wesleyan's 
large  group  of  married  students 
who  are  mostly  veterans  of  World 
War    II. 

The  Class  of  1970  may  well 
find  itself  enriched  with  the 
talents  and  Wesleyan  heritage  of 
many  of  these  youngsters.

The  dictum  of  Heraclitus,  "you  can't  step  into  the  same 
river  twice,"  describes  aptly  the  year  to  year  situation  of  the 
Department  of  Physical  Education.  The  practical  truth  of  the 
ancient  Greek's  universal  metaphor  is  known  nowhere  more 
intimately  than  by  the  coach  out  on  the  playing  field.  Time 
and  Change  relentlessly  dog  the  athlete's  heels;  the  eternal 
river,  mining  the  minutes  and  hours  of  his  youth,  flows 
under  the  constant  and  anxious  surveillance  of  the  eminently 
successful   team-maker. 

Time  gives  the  athletic  coach  but  one  favor — a  clean 
slate  at  the  beginning  of  every  schoolyear.  Change  chooses 
to  smile  or  frown  on  the  coach  at  will.  Like  Janus,  he  may 
choose  to  do  both  at  once,  pushing  talented  team  members 
into  the  ranks  of  the  alumni  while  enrolling  equally  capable, 
younger   men. 

The  1947-48  schoolyear  saw  Change  play  a  minor  part 
acting  in  this  dual  role.  In  this  fleeting  moment  of  appre- 
hension as  the  year  is  flushed  toward  the  great  sea  of 
remote,  lost,  and  forgotten  time  beyond,  we  see  Change 
beckoning  to  many  of  Wesleyan's  first-rate  lettermen. 
Whether  Change  will  choose  to  replace  them  with  men  of 
equal  caliber  in  the  yet  unformed  ranks  of  the  Class  of  1952 
is  a  question  to  which  the  answer  is  not  presently  at  hand. 
Of  one  thing,  however,  we  may  be  certain:  Time  and  Change 
cannot  keep  a  secret;  they're  bound  to  produce  an  answer  in 
the  year  immediately  ahead.

PAUL  SMALL 

All  over  the  country  every  Autumn  Saturday  after- 
noon, millions  of  football  fans  gather  in  various 
stadiums  to  see  their  respective  teams  engage  in  bodily 
contact.  There  ore  but  a  very  few  of  this  vast  multitude 
who  realize  what  goes  on   behind   the   scenes. 

It  takes  an  excellent  coaching  staff  in  order  to 
discover  the  opponent's  weaknesses  a  week  before  every 
contest.  In  view  of  this,  Paul  Small  was  able  to  attend 
only  the  closing  game  of  the  season  to  watch  the 
Bobcats  ploy.  It  was  through  his  excellent  information 
and  diagrams  of  the  next  opponent's  weaknesses  that 
enabled  the   Bobcats  to  go  from  one  victory  to  another. 

Assistant  Coach  Small  must  be  congratulated  for 
his  fine  work  in  preparing  the  best  defensive  line  in 
the  State  last  seoson,  thus  enabling  Coach  Ross  to 
further   develop   a   galaxy   of    running    backs. 


Moving  along  under  the  competent  command  of 
Coach  "Cebe"  Ross,  the  entire  progressive  athletic 
program  of  the  College  has  brought  to  the  campus 
community  another  successful  year  of  extra-curricular 
activity  and  enjoyment. 

On  the  intercollegiate  level,  West  Virginia  Wesleyan 
produced  teams  in  football,  basketball,  baseball,  tennis, 
and  golf.  Ending  the  football  season  with  a  record  of 
six  victories  against  only  two  losses — both  of  them  by 
narrow  margins,  the  1947  squad  turned  in  a  highly 
creditable  performance.  The  highlight  of  the  seoson, 
the  Homecoming  victory  over  a  powerful  Waynesburg 
eleven,  added  a  certain  lustre  to  the  record.  While 
the  basketball  record  was  hardly  up  to  this  high  level 
of  achievement,  yet  the  1947-48  hardwood  season 
provided  a  series  of  surprises  and  was  enjoyed  by  all. 
As  is  the  custom,  the  State  Intercollegiate  Tournament 
was  held  in  the  Wesleyan  gym;  Davis  and  Elkins  College 
emerged  victorious  this  year.  As  for  the  baseball  record, 
we  must  look  back  to  the  1947  season  which  produced 
four  victories  against  six   losses. 

Of  more  personal  interest  to  the  average  Wesleyan 
student  is  the  widespread,  integrated,  and  carefully 
coordinated  intramurals  program  conducted  for  both 
men  and  women.  A  total  of  478  men  and  nearly  500 
women  students  participated  in  these  campus  athletics. 
The  men's  intramurals,  under  the  direction  of  Associate 
Professor  Dave  Reemsnyder,  offered  championship 
league  contests  in  touch  football,  volleyball,  basketball, 
tennis,  handball  and  a  number  of  other  individual 
sports.  Associate  Professor  Charlotte  Knepshield  directed 
the  women's  intramural  program  which  offered  hockey, 
volleyball,  basketball,  badminton,  and  shuffleboard  in 
addition  to  other  individual  activities. 


COACH    "CEBE"   ROSS 


Moving  from  his  position  as  Head  Coach  at  the 
Buckhannon-Upshur  High  School,  Cebe  came  back  to 
his  Alma  Mater  in  1925  to  fill  the  vacancy  left  in  the 
Physical  Education  Department  by  John  Fulton.  For 
seventeen  consecutive  years,  with  his  first  year  here 
excepted,  Coach  Ross  served  the  College  as  "Coach  and 
Athletic  Director."  During  those  years  his  reputation 
for  fairness,  unexcelled  sportsmanship,  and  consistent 
production  of  successful  teams  in  football,  basketball, 
and   baseball,   grew   steadily. 

When,  in  1942,  the  College  dropped  intercollegiate 
athletics  for  the  duration  of  World  War  II,  Cebe  trans- 
ferred his  talents  to  Charleston's  Morris  Harvey  College. 
There  he  produced  the  championship  Golden  Eagle  team 
widely  touted  in  1942.  The  following  year  Coach  Ross 
accepted  a   commission   in   the   U.   S.    Navy. 

The  war  over,  Cebe  climbed  out  of  his  Navy  blue 
back  into  his  old  berth  at  Wesleyan.  Taking  over  at 
the  helm  again  in  1946,  he  has  made  notable  successes 
of    his    18th    and    19th    years    here.

RECTOR    BROWN 

While  it  is  hard  to  believe,  it  is  nevertheless 
true  ole  "Shadrack"  finally  made  graduation 
day;  he's  been  heading  in  that  direction  since 
the  fall  of  1941.  Of  course,  there  was  a  slight 
interval  of  nearly  three  years  out  for  a  hitch 
in  the  U.  S.  Navy  during  the  late  war.  And, 
of  course,  there  was  that  year  at  Morris  Harvey 
in  '42  when  "Rec,"  following  the  abandon- 
ment of  football  here,  helped  Coach  Ross 
capture  the  State  Intercollegiate  Football  Con- 
ference  championship. 

Originally  from  Chloe,  Rec  claims  his  main 
reason  for  coming  to  Wesleyan  was  to  play 
football.  Once  here,  it  seems,  he  gradually 
came  to  realize  there  was  a  little  more  to 
going  to  college  than  playing  sports.  And 
there's  that  tale  about  that  exciting  week  in 
'41  when  all  the  "greenies"  had  to  tip  their 
hats;  Rec  somehow  lost  a  few  locks  of  hair  in 
a   friendly  sort  of  way. 

Married  now,  Rec  has  become  a  real  family 
man  what  with  wife  Helen  and  daughter  Linda 
looking  after  him  in  one  of  the  College  hous- 
ing units.  His  easy-going,  amiable-bigness  has 
made  him  everyone's  friend  in  the  campus 
community. 


JOSEPH    PETER   HUNTZ 

Along  about  1920  a  child  entered  this  wide, 
wide  world  at  Wyoming,  Pennsylvania;  his 
proud  parents  promptly  named  him  Joseph 
Peter  Huntz.  Joe  eventually  grew  up  and 
became  another  of  those  old  boys  of  "Cebe's," 
playing  ball  his  first  year  of  school  here  in 
1940.  After  one  more  season  of  football  here, 
he  enlisted  in  the  Army  Air  Forces  upon  the 
close  of  the  spring  semester,  1941,  and  served 
a  total  of  42  months  as  on  airplane  armorer. 
He  received  his  discharge  late  in  the  Fall  of 
1945  "Little  Joe"  reentered  Wesleyan  in  the 
fall  of  1946  and  rejoined  the  squad  to  play 
two  more  years  of  football.  His  activities 
around  the  campus  include  membership  in  the 
Keystone  Club,  and  he  is  Vice-President  of  the 
Wesleyan  chapter  of  the  Future  Teachers  of 
America.  The  major  Joe  chose  was  Business 
Administration  with  minors  in  History  and 
Education.  His  spare  time  is  employed  in 
hunting    and    fishing,    Joe's   pet   hobbies. 


CHARLES    WILLIAM    PUGH 

A  star  is  in  our  midst.  Yet,  you  would  never 
believe  such  an  unassuming  fellow  os  Bill  Pugh 
would  fall  in  this  category.  He  was  one  of 
those  many  freshmen  of  1 94 1  who  tried  out 
for  the  football  team.  From  what  is  told  he 
was  a  mere  175  pounds  then  and  half  scared 
to  death,  but  somehow  he  was  one  of  the  four 
"frosh"  Coach  Ross  kept  on  the  squad.  In 
those  days  you  had  to  earn  a  letter  the  hard 
way,  but  Bill  sorta'  picked  up  one  his  first 
year. 

Then  in  September  of  '42  he  took  to  the 
road  and  followed  his  "Ole  Coach"  to  Morris 
Harvey  as  did  some  others.  There,  he  also  was 
a  member  of  that  Championship  Golden  Eagle 
squad  of  '42.  Along  about  then  Bill  decided 
the  Navy  had  the  best  bet,  and  he  went,  in 
August  of  '43,  as  an  athletic  specialist.  He 
completed  a  three  year  hitch  before  his  dis- 
charge   in    1  946. 

Bill  reentered  Wesleyan  in  the  fall  of  that 
year  and  captained  both  the  '46  and  '47 
football  squads.  A  measure  of  his  campus 
popularity  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  Bill  was 
awarded,  by  student  vote,  the  Dempsey  Sports- 
man's Trophy  at  the  end  of  the  1947  school- 
year.  He  was  also  elected  President  of  the 
1947-48  Community  Council.  An  announce- 
ment was  made  recently  that  Bill  will  play 
professional  football  with  the  Los  Angeles 
Dons   this    Fall. 

ADAM    FORINASH 

Affectionately  known  to  most  students  as 
"Tor,"  Adam  is  a  product  of  Webster  Springs 
High  School,  Class  of  '40.  He  starred  in  his 
last  two  years  there  as  a  boxer;  out  of  ten 
bouts,  he  won  nine  and  lost  only  to  the 
State   Champion. 

Entering  Wesleyan  in  the  Fall  of  1940,  Tor 
managed  to  get  in  two  seasons  of  football 
before  the  Army  beckoned  to  him.  After  a  tour 
of  duty  as  a  drill  instructor  at  Kelly  Field,  he 
spent  28  months  in  the  Asiatic  Theatre  of 
Operations — China,  Burma,  and  India.  His  dis- 
charge in  his  pocket,  Tor  returned  to  Wesleyan 
in  1946  to  rejoin  the  squad  for  the  ensuing 
two   seasons. 

Adam  has  majored  in  Physical  Education 
and  chose  minors  in  Biology  and  Education. 
His  campus  popularity  as  an  athlete  and  his 
solid  gold  social  personality  mark  him  for 
success  in  his  chosen  profession  of  coaching 
The  grape-vine  has  it  that  an  excellent  coach- 
ing position  is  waiting  for  him  in  the  southern 
part  of  the  State.

*7U  t947  'PootfcUt  Seeuo* 


Coach  "Silent  Cebe"  Ross  brought  forth  a  mighty 
football  machine  this  fall  composed  mainly  of  returning 
lettermen  of  the  highly  successful  '46  squad.  With  the 
help  of  a  few  outstanding  freshmen,  the  '47  edition  of 
the  Bobcats  came  out  with  a  lot  of  determination  and 
speed.  Storting  with  the  opening  kickoff,  we  found  our 
stalwart  warriors  opening  fast  against  those  not-so-tame 
Tigers  of  Salem  College. 

To  be  sure  the  Bobcats  ran  true  to  form  until  the 
closing  minutes  of  play.  Then,  the  passing  combo, 
Swisher  to  McLean,  produced  victory  for  the  Salem 
Tigers  by  the  narrow  margin  of  7  to  6.  The  Bobcats 
opened  the  game  very  fast;  in  the  first  minute  of  play. 
Bob  Means  blocked  a  punt  which  wos  recovered  by 
Fuzzy  Moore  on  the  Salem  sixteen.  Bill  Pugh,  two  plays 
later,  drew  the  season's  first  blood  for  the  Bobcats  by 
punching  over  from  the  ten-yard- line.  The  kick  after 
by  Michaels  was  wide  of  the  mark. 

The  Wesleyan  downfall  was  a  direct  result  of  Tiger 
passing  accuracy;  o  cool  eight  completions  for  a  total 
of  1 08  yards.  The  Orange  and  Black  line  gave  up  a 
mere  eight-plus  yards.  Outstanding  on  opening  doy  were 
Means,   Mazzei,   Donley,   and   Straight  on   defense,   while 


the  new  punting  sensation,  Joe  Witek,  bottled  up  the 
Salemites   deep   in   their  own   territory. 

Still  hoping  to  find  a  taste  of  victory,  Cebe's  "pore 
little  boys"  brushed  up  on  plays  all  week  ond  came 
back  with  a  vengeance  by  humiliating  the  Glen vi lie 
Pioneers   20    to   0. 

The  scoring  was  started,  as  usual  by  the  Rossmen, 
early  in  the  game  when  John  Mazzei  and  Bob  Means 
collaborated  in  blocking  Lilly's  kick  on  the  Glenville  20. 
After  repeated  thrusts  through  the  stubborn  Pioneer  line 
did  not  produce  a  score,  reliable  Charlie  Shepherd 
finally  dove  into  pay  dirt.  Automatic  Jody  Michaels 
converted  easily.  From  there  on  'til  half  time,  those 
rugged  State   linesmen  fought  the  locals  to  a  stand  still. 

To  open  the  third  quarter,  the  Bobcats  pulled  in  the 
pigskin  on  their  own  20.  Three  successive  first  downs 
advanced  our  boys  to  the  Glenville  43;  from  there,  ever- 
elusive  Bill  Pugh  danced  around  right  end.  Automatic 
Jody  once  again  produced.  Getting  a  little  restless,  those 
stalwarts  of  "Silent  Cebe,"  spearheaded  by  hard-charg- 
ing Walt  Pugh,  plucked  down  a  Pioneer  aerial  from 
somewhere  around  the  Wesleyan  20,  returning  the  oval 
to  the  45.  Their  turn  then,   the   Bobcats  lost  the  pigskin 


WALT   PUGH 

The  younger  half  of  a  top-notch  brother 
combination,  Walt  is  o  rollicking  good  pig- 
skin toter  from  down  in  the  Southern  part 
of  the  state — Gauley  Bridge.  A  hard-driving 
competitor,  Walt  has  shown  a  lot  of  the 
same  capabilities  as  has  brother  Bill  in 
many  campus  activities.  Like  Bill,  too,  he 
was  a  standout  on  the  football  squad  in 
his  Freshman  year.  He  also  put  a  little 
time  in  the  Navy,  but  unlike  Bill,  Walt 
likes  to  play  plenty  of  golf. 


JOE   MICHAELS 

Automatic  "Jody,"  a  170-pound  quarter- 
back, is  the  ace  Bobcat  place-kicking 
stylist.  Joe  is  a  lover  of  football  and 
athletics  in  general.  A  baseball  letterman, 
too,  he  puts  all  he  has  into  his  two  varsity 
sports.  As  an  outfielder  on  the  Wesleyan 
nine,  Joe  covers  the  turf  by  the  county 
mile,  and  he's  a  pretty  fair  hitter.  He 
stands  in  the  batter's  box  with  that  baggy 
uniform  draped  as  though  he  were  a  three- 
foot  hole  beside  the  plate.  Parkersburg 
should  be  proud  of  this  popular  little  fellow. 


ROBERT   PATTERSON 

Now  past  a  confusing  freshman  year  in 
which  he  played  at  both  tackle  and  end, 
Pat  blossomed  into  a  rattling  good  quarter- 
back this  year.  The  Wesleyan  opponents 
found  out  early  in  the  season  that  Pat's 
defensive  play  was  tops.  With  two  seasons 
still  before  him,  Pat  shows  considerable 
promise  of  even  further  development.  He 
served  during  the  war  with  the  Army  Air 
Forces. 


CHUCK    DONLEY 

Completing  season  number  three  for  his 
"old  coach"  this  year,  ex-marine  "Snuffy" 
will  be  next  year's  last  remaining  link 
between  Cebe's  great  pre-war  ball  teams 
and  his  present  highly-geared  grid  machine. 
Always  playing  for  keeps,  Chuck  is  notori- 
ously known  by  all  who  have  come  in 
contact  with  his  big,  hard-charging  hulk 
across  the  scrimmage  line.  Chuck's  big 
moment  this  year  came  when  he  got  the 
word  it  was  a  boy — Edward  Lang,  to  be 
exact. 


Pagt  Sixty-five 


via  an  interception  on  the  Glenville  30.  Lilly,  Glenville's 
punter,  hurried  too  much  on  the  next  play;  as  a  result, 
the  ball  went  over  to  the  Bobcats  on  the  Pioneer  thirty. 
"Shorty"  Crawford  then,  on  an  off-tackle  slant,  galloped 
13  yards — after  which  he  shot  a  bullet  pass  to  end  John 
Mazzei,  who  maneuvered  for  the  score.  Joe  Michaels 
failed  to  collect  the  point  after. 

"Silent  Cebe"  and  his  men  of  might  proceeded  on 
to  Charleston  the  following  Saturday  and  very  easily 
disposed  of  a  game,  but  outclassed,  Golden  Eagle  eleven, 
20  to  0.  Coach  Ross's  single-wing  attack  rolled  almost 
at  will,  the  scoring  starting  early,  as  elusive  Bill  Pugh 
scampered  47  yards  on  two  off -tackle  slants  to  start 
the  scoring  for  the  Bobcats.  Once  again,  automatic  Joe 
Michaels   converted   and   Wesleyan    had   a    7-0    lead. 

On  the  ensuing  kickoff,  Joe  Michaels'  effort  traveled 
only  a  scant  1 3  yards;  whereupon  hard-driving  Fuzzy 
Moore  gathered  in  the  loose  oval  to  give  Wesleyan 
possession  on  the  Morris  Harvey  47.  Immediately,  pile- 
driving  Walt  Pugh  circled  end  for  30  to  set  the  stage 
for  runs  by  Charlie  Shepherd  and  Bill  Pugh  which 
placed  the  ball  on  the  nine;  then,  the  one  and  only 
Bill  Pugh  scooted  for  the  score.  Mr.  Michael's  kick  was 
wide  at  the  half. 

As  the  third  period  started,  Walt  Pugh  again  circled 
end,  this  time  for  52  yards,  placing  the  ball  on  the  28. 
From    here    he    passed    to    Mazzei    who   was    dropped    on 


the  five.  Hard-driving  Fuzzy  Moore  toted  the  pigskin 
over  on  two  bucks  at  the  line.  Automatic  Joe  Michaels 
closed  out  the  scoring  with  the  point  after,  as  Coach 
Ross  substituted  freely  and  coasted   into  victory. 

The  '47  edition  of  the  Bobcats,  moving  along  with  a 
two  to  one  record,  indicated  signs  of  developing  into 
one  of  the  best  teams  Wesleyan  had  seen  in  years. 
Traveling  to  the  Smoky  City  up  North  for  the  next 
game  with  yet-untested  Carnegie  Tech,  the  Bobcats 
from  the  West  Virginia  hills  clawed  out  a  27  to  6 
victory  over  the  Tartans  before  5,000  fans  at  Forbes 
Field  in  Pittsburgh. 

The  Wesleyan  attack  seemed  to  bog  down  in  the 
first  two  periods,  but  they  returned  to  the  battle  with 
seemingly  uncontrollable  power  and  accomplished  this 
Saturday  afternoon  task  in  a  very  convincing  manner. 
Early  in  the  second  quarter,  Tech  went  65  yards  via  the 
air  to  gain  their  first  and  only  tally,  but  Wesleyan  could 
not  be  denied  and  roared  back  to  score  as  Walt  Pugh 
plunged  over   right  guard  at  the  holf. 

Still  at  it,  the  third  period  found  Bob  Patterson,  the 
Orange  and  Black  signal  caller,  leaping  high  to  intercept 
one  of  Tech's  many  passes  and  race  34  yards  to  score. 
Jody  Michaels  split  the  uprights  for  the  conversion. 
Wesleyan  rolled  up  another  score  shortly  after  as  Walt 
Pugh,  faking  an  end-run,  flipped  a  pass  into  the  wait- 
ing   arms    of    "little"    Claude    Crider    who    dropped    over 


BOB    MEANS 

Another  of  the  ex-marines  on  the  squad, 
this  redhead  is  a  standout  at  right  guard. 
He  kept  his  195  pounds  busy  most  of  the 
season  brushing  aside  opposing  linesmen  to 
break  up  plays  in  the  enemy  backfield  A 
popular  fellow  around  the  campus,  Bob  is 
one  of  the  stalwarts  on  the  Wesleyan  big 
eleven. 


ROBERT   SULLIVAN 

"Sully"  should  be  counted  among  the 
many  boys  who  were  flashy  characters  in 
their  bell-bottomed  trousers,  and  he's  just 
as  sharp  in  football  togs.  A  little  slow  in 
building  up  confidence  his  first  season,  he 
began  to  loosen  up  this  year  much  to  the 
displeasure  of  Wesleyan's  opponents  and 
the  delight  of  Coach  Ross.  Toward  the  end 
of  the  season.  Bob  was  proving  extremely 
reliable  in  the  pinches. 


CHARLES   SHEPHERD 

A  170-pound  Weston  High  product, 
"Shep"  is  one  ex-marine  who  goes  in  for 
hunting  in  a  big  way.  For  a  while  after  his 
discharge  it  was  a  combination  of  women 
ond  football.  Now  oil  his  time  can  be  put 
to  the  gridiron  with  the  fine  results  seen 
lost  season.  All  are  looking  forward  to  a 
greater  season  next  year  for  this  very 
shifty,  side-stepping  back  who  can  really 
lug  that  pigskin. 


JOHN    SOUTHERN 

That  character  wearing  the  Orange  and 
Black  you  may  have  seen  being  held  at 
the  end  of  a  leash  somewhere  around  the 
Bobcat  sidelines  this  year — well,  that  was 
John.  He  comes  from  somewhere  in  the 
local  vicinity;  o  place  colled  West  Milford, 
wherever  that  is.  His  high-flying,  fast- 
stepping,  180  pounds  would  be  an  asset 
to   any   combination    of   pigskin   gridders.

JOE   WITEK 

This  btg-framed,  good-natured  Pennsyl- 
vanton  pulled  the  Bobcat  eleven  out  of  a 
many  a  deep  hole  last  season  with  his 
long-distance  place- kicking.  Joe  is  kept 
pretty  busy  squeezing  enjoyment  for  the 
entire  campus  community  out  of  that  lively 
accordion  of  his. 


CLAUDE   CRIDER 

This  tall,  shy  fellow  is  a  home-grown 
product — yes,  Buckhannon.  "Silent  Claude" 
was  a  refreshing  sight  to  behold  with  his 
live  play  this  year.  An  ex-marine,  he's  a 
veteran  at  playing  for  keeps;  out  on  the 
gridiron  he  covered  a  lot  of  territory  fear- 
lessly. Not  many  doubted  his  ability  to 
anchor   down  a   line. 


CAL    FORSYTHE 

A  flashy  190-pound  left  end,  Cal  did  a 
lot  of  rooming  over  the  chalked  stripes  last 
Fall.  A  campaigner  back  from  the  1946 
squad,  he  helped  to  show  Wesleyan's  oppo- 
nents why  the  Cats  were  known  to  have 
the  best  line  in  the  State.  Plagued  with 
injuries  all  season  long,  he  nevertheless 
turned  in  many  remarkable  performances 
for   Cebe. 


BOB    STRAIGHT 

It  is  seldom  you  find  a  football  player 
who,  after  an  excellent  season  at  one 
position,  can  star  the  next  season  in  an- 
other capacity.  Bob  managed  to  do  just 
that;  he  traded  his  end  position  for  a  job 
as  tackle.  It  has  been  by  the  ability  of 
boys  like  this  that  Wesleyan  was  rated 
the   toughest    line    in   the   State. 


the    goal     line    to    score.    The    automatic    toe    of    Joe      fl 
Michaels  was  true. 

Midway  through  the  final  period,  Joe  Huntz  broke 
through  to  block  a  Tech  punt;  Shadrach  Brown  scurried 
to  cover  it,  giving  Wesleyan  possession  on  the  Tech  48. 
Walt  Pugh  then  tossed  an  aerial  to  brother  Bill  to  place 
the  ball  on  the  Tartan  25.  After  a  Bobcat  penalty,  Bill 
Pugh  took  a  pitchoff  from  quarterback  Joe  Michaels 
and  did  some  fancy  tightrope  walking  on  the  sidelines 
as  he  went  over  for  the  final  score.  Fuzzy  Moore  was 
delegoted  to  kick  the  point  after,  which  he  made  good. 

The  traditional  Homecoming  tilt  with  Waynesburg 
provided  the  next  scene  of  victory  as  the  Bobcats 
chewed  the  "Waynesburgers"  9  to  0  before  a  record 
crowd  of  5000  in  Wesleyan's  "splinter  stadium."  A 
sustained  drive  of  75  yards  by  Fuzzy  Moore  and  the 
Pugh  boys,  in  the  first  quarter,  brought  the  game's  only 
touchdown  with  Moore  crossing  the  goal  line  from  the 
five.  The  point  after  was  duly  collected  by  Michaels. 
In  the  second  period,  Mazzei  collected  the  Bobcats' 
other  two  points  by  knocking  a  Ye  I  low- Jackets'  kick 
bock  into  the  end  zone  where  Datko,  Waynesburg  half- 
back, fell  on  it  giving  the  Cats  a  safety.  Rough  line 
play  featured  the  remainder  of  the  game,  with  a 
Waynesburg  89  yard  touchdown  sprint  nullified  by  a 
15  yard  penalty  called  by  the  officials  for  unnecessary 
roughness.  Wesleyan  ran  up  a  total  of  eleven  first 
downs  to  six  for  Waynesburg. 


Now  possessing  a  consecutive  win-skein  of  four 
straight,  the  Bobcats  of  West  Virginia  Wesleyan  jour- 
neyed to  Parkersburg  and  defeated  a  rugged  Marietta 
College,  12  to  0,  in  a  cold  drizzling  rain.  The  Rossmen 
did  all  their  scoring  in  the  first  half  on  two  line  bucks 
by  Fuzzy  Moore  and  Lelond  Hayhurst  after  the  Cats 
recovered  fumbles  deep  in  Marietta  territory.  Wesleyan's 
offense  bogged  down  in  the  second  half  due  to  a  heavy, 
soggy  gridiron  that  had  all  the  aspects  of  a  sea  of  mud. 

The  first  score  was  made  after  one  of  Witek's  punts 
was  dropped  by  Rutherford;  Claude  Crider  pounced  on 
the  slippery  oval  to  give  Wesleyan  the  ball  on  Marietta's 
33.  After  runs  by  Bill  and  Walt  Pugh,  Fuzzy  Moore 
plunged  over  from  the  five  to  score.  Michaels'  kick  for 
the  conversion  was  wide.  In  the  second  period,  John 
Mazzie,  who  played  a  superb  game  at  end,  recovered  a 
fumble  on  the  Marietta  four  and  Leland  Hayhurst  ripped 
over  to  give  the  Rossmen  their  second  six-pointer.  Again 
Michaels  missed  the  conversion  as  the  playing  time 
drew  to  a  close. 

Still  a  little  damp  from  their  last  mud-eating  contest, 
Cebe's  boys  made  it  six  in  a  row  by  defeating  the 
Bisons  of  Bethany  College,  7  to  0,  on  a  field  suited 
for  anything  but  football.  There  was  very  little  chance 
for  the  Cats  to  go  into  high  gear  as  the  footing  was  as 
sure  as  the  chances  of  a  snowball  to  exist  for  long  in 
the   brimstone    pits   of   the    nether   regions. 

The   game   was  a    punting   duel    throughout   with    "Jo- 


JOHN   MAZZEI 

John  is  an  end  who  brought  to  a  virtual 
standstill  all  the  opposition's  plays  aimed 
through  his  position.  A  Sophomore  this 
season,  he  should  rate  high  on  future  polls 
of  great  gridders.  He  was  picked  on  the 
All-State  Eleven  this  past  season  for  his 
excellent  all-round  play.  John  is  a  fellow 
held  in  high  esteem  for  his  congeniality 
both  on  and  off  the  playing  field. 


BILL   MOORE 

When  will  the  Wesleyan  football  squad 
be  without  a  Moore?  Bill  comes  from  an 
almost  inexhaustible  line  of  football  greats. 
It  was  his  all-round  play  that  helped  jell 
the  backfield  combination  the  Bobcats 
brought  forth  this  year.  A  quiet  spoken 
unassuming  fellow,  Bill  is  a  thorough-going 
athlete  that  will  always  be  successful  re- 
gardless   of    the    duties    required    of    him. 


LEO   WHITE 

He  had  the  spirit  last  season  and  should 
be  heard  from  in  the  very  near  future- 
Jack  filled  in  often  during  the  season  when 
the  going  was  rough.  One  of  the  married 
men  on  the  team,  Jack  spent  a  lot  of  his 
spare  time  assisting  with  the  intramural 
program    during   the   winter    months. 


REX  JARVIS 
Parkersburg  seems  to  be  producing  an 
abundance  of  talent  of  late.  At  a  glance. 
Rex  hardly  appears  the  capable  center  he 
is.  With  Rex  on  the  line,  Wesleyan  hA  the 
center  sector  well  under  control.  This  being 
only  his  second  season,  we  should  see  a  lot 
of  this  curly-headed  fellow  on  and  off  the 
gridiron. 


Jo"  Witek  proving  to  be  the  master,  and  he  had  a 
spotless  uniform  to  turn  in  ot  the  conclusion  of  the 
game.  His  educated  left  foot  kept  the  Bisons  inside 
their  own  twenty  with  several  boots  going  out  of  bounds 
within  the  five  yard  line.  Our  break  came  early  in  the 
third  period  when  a  Bethany  kick  was  partially  blocked; 
it  was  gobbled  up  by  Charlie  Shepherd,  who  galloped 
over  unmolested  to  score.  Automatic  Joe  Michaels  split 
the   uprights  at  the  close   of   "operation   mud." 

The  Bobcats  then  brought  their  6  to  1  record  face  to 
face  with  the  Davis  and  Elkins  Senators  in  the  season's 
finale.  The  Senators  'til  then  had  not  looked  too 
impressive,  but  followers  of  the  locals  looked  for — and 
found — a  highly  entertaining  Saturday  afternoon  of 
football  as  these  two  squads  have  long  been  intense 
rivals.  Anyone  who  had  witnessed  last  year's  (1946) 
game,  and  other  games  of  the  past,  could  have  testified 
as  to  what  was  liable  to  occur.  Last  year's  game  was 
played  viciously  up  to  the  final  gun;  our  Bobcats  were 
victorious  due  to  the  outstanding  work  of  the  line  and 
the  brilliant  play  of  all  who  gave  our  running  backs, 
like  Bill  Pugh,  a  chance  to  hold  the  Senators  helpless 
with  their  will-o-the-wisp  runs. 

This  year  the  boys  from  over  Elkins  way  lived  up  to 
all  advance  billing.  They  were  a  definite  underdog 
eleven  that  caught  fire  from  the  "T"  to  upset,  7  to  3, 
the  best  laid  Wesleyan  plans  for  a  jubilant  celebration 
that  evening.   The  Senators  displayed  a   deceptive   brand 


brand  of  ball  under  the  leadership  of  quarterback 
Leroy.  His  handling  of  the  "T"  formation  was  a  study 
in  the  art  of  deception.  Time  and  time  again  he  out- 
smarted the  Wesleyan   defense. 

Wesleyan 's  only  score  came  when  Jody  Michaels 
booted  a  22  yard  field  goal  from  a  difficult  angle. 
The  Cats  lacked  that  scoring  punch  so  sorely  needed 
to  put  over  six-pointers.  The  Rossmen  were  often  deep 
in  Davis  and  Elkins'  territory  only  to  lose  the  ball 
on   downs. 

The  Senators  set  up  their  lone  score  on  a  pass  from 
Leroy  that  was  nicely  caught  on  the  Wesleyan  one- 
foot-line.  The  fullback  plunged  over  the  double  chalk 
line  to  score.  The  extra  point  was  good  on  an  under- 
handed pass  from  Leroy  to  his  end,  Close.  The  game 
was  punctuated  by  both  sides  losing  men  because  of 
the  intensity  of  the  bottle. 

This,  the  last  spectacle  of  the  1947  gridiron  season 
here  at  Wesleyan,  was  the  end  of  the  collegiate  football 
trail  for  those  seniors  you  will  remember  always  for 
their  sportsmanship  and  outstanding  play  both  on  and 
off  that  little  close-cropped  field  with  the  chalked  lines 
marking  off  those  long  one  hundred  yards.  May  good 
fortune,  warm  success,  and  happiness  follow  you  from 
here,  Rector  Borwn,  Adam  Forinash,  Joe  Huntz,  and 
Bill  Pugh  for  all  the  rest  of  your  auspiciously  begun 
athletic    careers. 


THE  TRAINERS 

Behind  all  the  action  on  the  playing  field 
and  just  short  of  all  the  glamour  rightfully 
accorded  the  players  —  there  stand  the 
trainers.  Not  that  they're  out  looking  for 
sympathy;  they  know  when  they  volunteer  for 
their  jobs  just  what  they're  getting  them- 
selves  into. 

Cheerfully  taking  the  heavy  load  of  their 
responsibility  to  make  certain  the  needs  of 
the  squad  are  met  promptly  and  both  the 
players  and  their  equipment  kept  in  good 
condition,  the  trainers  are  mostly  too  busy 
to  be  anywhere  but  in  the  background  of  the 
situation.  Nevertheless,  these  fellows,  Bill 
Knox,   Lee  Sutter,  Cole   Potter  (all   pictured), 


and  Bud  Brooks,  Guy  Hannah,  and  Sam 
Picone,  are  all  deserving  of  a  rousing  cheer 
for  a  good  job  well  done.

DAVID   OLDAKER 

There  ore  numerous  Buccaneers  of  Buck- 
hannon  prowling  around  our  compus  com- 
munity and  Dave  is  no  exception.  He 
launched  his  illustrious  college  career  at 
Wesleyan  in  September,  1940.  Dave  at 
first  put  forth  his  athletic  talents  in  a 
field  not  known  about  by  most  students 
now  here  unless  they  followed  last  Fall's 
intramurals  Yes,  Wesleyan  did  in  those 
days  have  a  Tennis  team  and  Dave  was 
a  star  performer,  as  he  showed  evidences 
of   in  the   Foil   doubles  tournament. 

The  opening  of  the  '42  basketball  season 
found  'Snake" — yes,  Dave — out  on  the 
hardwood  for  the  orange  and  black.  Wes- 
leyan, that  year,  went  to  the  finals  of  the 
state  tournament  before  being  downed  by 
Glenville.  That  same  year  Dave  also  tried 
his  hand  at  handball  and  won  the  men's 
singles  plus  the  doubles  championship 
which  he  shared  with  partner  Johnny 
Allopena.  The  following  summer  Dave 
entered   the   service. 

He  re-entered  Wesleyan,  in  February  of 
'46,  to  perform  with  the  outstanding  team 
that  brought  to  the  college  the  State 
Intercollegiate  Championship  of  that  year. 
A  Biology  maior,  with  minors  in  Chemistry 
and  Physical  Education,  Dave  plans  to 
enter  medical  school  upon  his  graduation, 
but  he  is  also  considering  coaching. 


BILL    KNOX 

Another  former  Marshall  College  man. 
Bill  made  the  break  from  Coach  Hender- 
son's fold  after  a  tour  in  the  Navy  as  a 
Pharmacist  Mate  aboard  the  US  S  Hous- 
ton. A  graduate  in  the  Class  of  '41  from 
Huntington  Central  High,  Bill  entered  Mar- 
shall that  Fall.  He  continued  there  through 
the  1942  schoolyear  before  he  accepted  the 
U.  S.   Navy's   invitation  to  see  the  world. 

With  that  all-important  paper  in  his 
hand,  Bill  entered  Wesleyan  in  June,  1946- 
His  easy-going  personality,  plus  that  genial 
smile,  marked  him  for  immediate  popularity 
on  the  campus.  Interested  in  basketball 
and  golf,  Bill  soon  earned  his  varsity  letters 
in  both  sports.  In  addition,  he  has  been 
active  in  the  intra-mural  program  and  has 
given  much  of  his  time  to  serve  as  one  of 
the  football  trainers 

An  indication  of  his  campus-wide  popu- 
larity is  seen  in  the  fact  he  has  twice 
been  elected  to  the  post  of  class  vice- 
president,  serving  in  his  Sophomore  and 
Junior  years.  He  has  also  been  a  class 
representative  on  the  Community  Council, 
a  member  of  the  Cultural  Enrichment  Com- 
mittee of  the  Council,  and  has  held  execu- 
tive posts  in  a  number  of  campus  organ- 
izations. Bill  has  a  yen  to  yank — that  is, 
he    is    looking    forward   to    a    dental    career. 


WILLIAM    PHILLIPS 

It  looks  as  though  Coach  Ross  scooped 
Cam  Henderson,  coach  at  Marshall,  in 
getting  Bill  to  come  to  Wesleyan.  Bill  was 
another  Buckhannon  Buccaneer,  but  he  was 
different  in  a  way.  He  entered  Marshall 
College  in  September,  1 943.  and  played 
basketball  for  the  "Big  Green."  Shortly 
after,  however,  he  proceeded  on  to  boot 
camp  at  Great  Lakes  to  start  a  three  year 
hitch  with  the  U.  S.   Navy. 

Upon  receipt  of  a  discharge  in  January, 
1946,  Bill  entered  Wesleyan  immediately. 
He  was  one  of  those  boys  who  was  a 
member  of  the  starting  five  which  took  the 
State  Championship  that  year.  This  was 
lust  a  start  for  Bill;  he  completed  his  third 
season  this  year. 

Bill  is  sports-minded  all  the  way.  as  his 
playing  second  base  on  the  baseball  team, 
in  addition  to  other  spare  time  athletic 
activities,  shows.  He  has  also  excelled  in 
campus  extra-curricular  organizations,  be- 
ing elected  President  of  the  Sophomore 
Class,  the  Senior  Class,  and  Beta  Beta  Beta, 
the  National  Honorary  Biological  fraternity. 
He  has  served  as  a  member  of  the  Social 
Activities  Committee  for  the  past  two 
years. 

Expecting  to  go  into  business.  Bill  has 
maiored  in  Business  Administration  with 
minors  in   Biology  and  Chemistry. 


With  the  football  season  past,  the  king  of  the  indoor 
sports,  basketball,  took  over.  The  backers  of  the  Orange 
and  Black  saw  some  great  contests  played  on  the  floor 
of  the  college  field  house  during  those  following 
months, 

Coach  Ross  had  the  same  team,  with  the  exception 
of  Chet  Marshall  who  had  graduated,  that  fought  its 
way  to  the  finals  in  the  Collegiate  Basketball  Tourna- 
ment of  last  year.  With  the  help  of  the  student  body, 
the  Bobcat  basketeers  played  a  season  both  hot  and 
cold.  The  record  books  show  the  opening  game,  which 
began  the  long  hard  grind,  to  be  a  victory — almost, 
that  is.  The  team  lost  in  the  closing  minutes  of  play 
to  the  Green  and  White  of  Bethany  College  by  a  score 
of  54  to  51.  It  was  a  game  that  saw  first  one  and  then 
the  other  team  picking  up  the  lead  with  the  Wesleynites 
on  the  short  end  of  a   28   to  26   halftime   score. 

The  team  then  departed  the  following  Tuesday  for  a 
two-game  road  trip  through  the  Southern  part  of  the 
state.  Our  lads  of  the  Orange  and  Black  first  encount- 
ered a  we  1 1 -seasoned  Golden  Eagle  five  at  Morris 
Harvey  College,  paced  by  clever  George  King.  The 
boys  from  Charleston  had  just  a  little  too  much  season- 
ing for  us,   resulting   in  a   loss,    80-45. 

The  story  goes  around  that  after  that  hectic  evening 
on   the   hordwood,    Coach    Ross    refrained    from   going    to 


Page  Seventy 


CARL   LYONS 

"Blue,"  in  his  second  season 
here,  made  a  mighty  fine  im- 
pression. Playing  at  guard  and 
running  the  center  slot  on  'he 
fast  break,  Blue  was  a  dead 
shot  from  the  center  lane  as 
well  as  a  deft  playmaker.  The 
oldest  of  a  popular  pair  of 
brothers,  Blue  is  the  quieter, 
tallest   one. 


HAROLD   ELLIS 

For  all  the  orthodox  players 
out  on  the  hordwood  there  must 
be  a  few  who  stand  out  for 
their  unusual  antics  on  the  court. 
Harold  might  well  be  included 
among  the  latter,  for,  from  the 
time  he  gets  his  hands  on  the 
ball  'til  it  drops  in  the  basket, 
he's  all  over  the  place  with  it. 
This  was  Harold's  second  varsity 
season. 


JOHN    LYONS 

The  other  half  of  those  look- 
a-lot-alike  brothers  from  Clarks- 
burg, Jack  is  a  handy  man  to 
have  around  because  of  his  de- 
fensive ability  and  board  work. 
He  saw  plenty  or  action  this 
past  season,  both  at  center  and 
guard,  continuing  the  same  fast 
pace  he  set  for  himself  last  year. 


WILLIAM    BROWN 

Bill  is  a  conscientious,  hard- 
working individual  both  on  and 
off  the  basketball  court.  He 
played  a  lot  of  forward  on  the 
squad  this  year.  The  strong, 
silent  type.  Bill  steers  a  careful 
course  around  the  campus — 
spends  much  of  his  time  on  his 
studies  and  working  with  boys' 
groups. 


"SUGAR"   MALLING 

Entering  Wesleyan  the  second 
semester  of  the  '46-47  cam- 
paign, Sugar  soared  immediately 
into  the  hardwood  top  ten.  His 
steady  play  at  the  center  slot 
helped  push  the  underdog  Bob- 
cats into  the  finals  of  the  State 
tournament  that  season.  With 
still  a  couple  of  seasons  of 
eligibility  left.  Sugar  is  slated 
for  even   greater   glory 


HARVEY    BROWN 

Bill's  brother,  this  sharp- 
shooting  red-headed  Buckhannon 
boy  played  a  good  bit  of  very 
capable  forward  for  the  Ross 
hardwoodmen  this  past  season. 
When  the  going  was  rough. 
Harvey  could  usually  be  counted 
upon  to  boost  the  Bobcat  tally. 
Both  these  Brown  boys  are 
expected  to  hit  their  top  stride 
next  season 


the  same  hotel  with  the  boys;  instead,  he  paced  nervously  around  the 
Capitol  Building  trying  to  decide  whether  the  Kanawho  River  was  deep 
enough — or  if  the  team  left  at  home  could  speed  to  the  rescue. 

"Cebe's"  worries  were  alleviated  a  little  on  Wednesday  night,  how- 
ever, as  the  Orange  and  Black  out-played  a  stubborn  West  Virginia  Tech 
hardwood  crew,   finally  pulling  away  to  a   54   to  46  trampler. 

The  arrival  back  home  of  the  team  with  a  victory  under  their  belts 
produced  a  large  turnout  to  see  the  encounter  with  Alderson  Broaddus  a 
week  later — only  to  witness  the  Bobcats'  downfall  by  a  score  of  7 1  -52. 
This  game  must  have  somehow  inaugurated  a  streak  that  was  to  heavily 
overbalance  the  won- lost  percentage  column  of  the  Wesleyanites.  They 
did  show  remarkable  recuperative  powers  the  following  Saturday  though; 
it  took  an  overtime  period  before  Glenville  could  subdue  the  Wesleyan 
quintet,   71    to  67. 

The  following  three  games  participated  in  by  Wesleyan  were  more  or 
less  used  in  the  experimentation  of  different  combinations  by  Coach  Ross. 
The  scores  were:  Wesleyan  49,  Fairmont  82;  Wesleyan  4 1 ,  Beckley  44, 
in  another  heartbreaker  for  the  Cats;  and  Alderson  Broaddus  86, 
Wesleyan    42. 

Starting  with  the  West  Virginia  Tech  home  game,  the  Ross  hardwood- 
men began  to  snap  out  of  their  lethargy  with  a  start.  This  was  an  example 
of  the  potential  scoring  power  possessed  by  the  Rossmen  as  the  game 
concluded  with  Wesleyan  on  the  long  end  of  a  79  to  50  score.  Then, 
still  showing  power  in  spurts,  yet  lacking  in  the  pinch,  it  brought  about 
another    addition    to    the    loss    column — losing    78    to    57    to    Davis-Elkins. 

Once  again,  however,  Wesleyan  and  the  gods  brought  forth  another 
bomb  shell,  this  one  to  spell  the  downfall  of  the  Golden  Eagle  five  from 
Morris  Harvey  College.  In  this  contest  the  Bobcats  more  than  made  up 
for  their  bruising  defeat  of  two  months  previous  by  humiliating  George 
King  and  his  cohorts  76  to  58.  Two  days  later,  on  Friday  the  thirteenth, 
Cam  Henderson  and  his  Marshall  squad  dropped  in  on  the  boys  at  the 
local  emporium.  The  "Big  Green"  were  fresh  from  a  New  Year's  tourna- 
ment victory  out  on  the  West  Coast  and  were  not  to  be  derailed  by  the 
Orange  and  Blacks  of  Coach  Ross.  True,  the  locals  proved  to  be  a  definite 
threat  for  the  first  30  minutes,  but  they  eventually  lost  out  72  to  55,  due 
to  a   pressing   fast  break  employed  by  Marshall. 

On  Monday,  a  couple  of  nights  later,  the  Carmichael  Auditorium  jinx 
continued   to   hold   as   the   Salem   Tigers   pulled   away   from   the    Bobcats    in 


Pagt  Si  I  onty-ont 


the  final  period  to  win  70  to  58.  Coach  Ross  then  decided  perhaps  a  few 
closed  sessions  might  help  snap  a  few  more  victories  out  of  his  faltering 
team.  It  must  have  made  a  little  impression  on  the  squad  as  immediately 
the  boys  from  the  banks  of  the  Buckhannon  River  began  to  show  champ- 
ionship form  in  easily  defeating  a  scrappy  Glenville  Pioneer  quintet  73  to 
62   on   their  home  court  to  even   up   another  defeat   earlier   in   the   season. 

Wesleyan  next  journeyed  to  the  North  a  few  miles  to  throw  a  terrific 
scare  into  a  Fairmont  State  five  who  were  eyeing  a  second  State  Inter- 
collegiate Conference  championship.  The  lead  built  up  by  the  Cats  melted 
in  the  closing  minutes  of  play,  however;  the  Falcons  tied  the  game  up  as 
time  ran  out.  The  overtime  found  no  let  up  in  the  sudden  surge  of  the 
Falcons,  and,  helped  by  Wesleyan's  ice-cold  local  team,  Fairmont  took  the 
hard-fought  tussle,  62  to  57. 

The  Red  and  White  of  Davis-Elkins  College  were  the  next  collegiate 
five  to  grace  the  local  hardwood.  That  game  saw  the  Wesleynites  try  hard 
to  overcome  an  eleven-point  first-quarter  Senator  lead,  only  to  fall  short 
os  time  ran  out,  finding  Davis-Elkins  ahead  67  to  57.  In  the  following 
encounter,  West  Liberty  found  out  the  hard  way  that  the  West  Virginia 
Wesleyan  cagers  were  no  soft  touch — far  from  it — for  the  Bobcats  put  on 
one  of  their  best  performances  of  the  season  to  defeot  the  Northerners 
73  to  43.  After  this  triumph,  the  Bobcats  evened  up  still  another  earlier 
defeat,  by  the  Salem  Tigers  five,  by  winning  on  the  home  hardwood  64 
to  58.  The  local  basketeers,  closing  out  the  season,  then  lost  to  Waynes- 
burg    College    82    to   43. 

Thus  seasoned,  the  Orange  and  Black  hardwood  quintet  then  played 
host  to  the  best  of  the  state  collegiate  teams  in  the  well-played,  hotly- 
contested  annual  State  Intercollegiate  basketball  tournament,  which  was 
eventually  won   by   Davis  and   Elkins  College. 

The  naming  of  individual  stars  has  been  left  out  of  this  over-all 
summary  of  the  hardwood  wizardry  of  Coach  Ross  and  his  squad  os  a 
tribute  to  the  entire  team  who  wholeheartedly  did  their  best  for  West 
Virginia  Wesleyan  College,  utterly  disregarding  any  personal  gains  to 
be   made. 

It  should  be  mentioned,  however,  that  three  seniors  did  put  forth  their 
last  efforts  in  this  year  for  the  Orange  and  Block.  They  will  be  remem- 
bered long  for  their  brilliant  play  and  sportsman-like  conduct  under  all 
circumstances.  These  boys  ore  Dave  Oldaker,  Bill  Phillips,  and  Bill  Knox 
— all    stars   in   their  own    right.

"BOB"   MEANS 

Though  his  stock  in  trade  is 
football.  Bob  is  a  good  boy  on 
the  hardwood.  His  fast  footwork 
around  the  court  produces  points 
here  and  prevents  them  there. 
Bob  saw  a  lot  of  action  this 
season,  and  he  should  see  even 
more    of    it    in   the   future. 


JOHN   SOUTHERN 

John  was  all  around  the  court 
for  the  Bobcats  this  past  season, 
somehow  always  producing  his 
share  of  points  from  his  bag  of 
tricks.  The  unusual  thing  about 
this  fellow  is  his  inability  to 
shoot  a  basket  when  he's  look- 
ing at  it — but  turn  him  loose 
and   see   what   happens! 


EARL    FLOWERS 

It  is  seldom  you  find  a  Fresh- 
man breaking  into  the  top  ten 
of  a  collegiate  basketball  squad 
since'  there  are  usually  that 
many  already-tested  lettermen 
around.  After  a  somewhat  slow 
start,  "Doc"  began  to  accelerate 
and  soon  proved  his  merit  as  an 
all-round  player  and  play-maker. 
He  has  an  unlimited  future  be- 
fore  him. 


CHARLES   SPELSBURG 

Another  plucky  Freshman  who 
made  the  varsity  squad  this 
season,  Chuck,  in  his  final  sea- 
son at  W.  &  I.  last  year,  was 
picked  on  the  All-City  team. 
His  success  at  bridging  the  broad 
gap  between  high  school  and 
collegiate  basketball  predicates 
a  brilliant  future  for  him  out 
on    the    Wesleyan    hardwood. 


WILLIAM  KING 
Another  of  the  local  men  on 
the  hardwood  squad,  Bill  played 
his  second  season  with  the  Bob- 
cats this  year,  but  he  is  better 
known  for  his  prowess  out  on 
the  field  in  his  major  sport — 
football.  A  popular  fellow  both 
on  and  off  the  campus,  the 
future  holds  the  key  to  his 
success. 


CLAUDE    CRIOER 

Claude  was  one  of  the  re- 
turning boys  Coach  Ross  made 
considerable  use  of  during  the 
season.  Although  primarily  a 
football  man,  Claude  is  recog- 
nized for  his  play  on  the  more 
crowded  quarters  of  a  basket- 
ball court.  A  Sophomore  this 
year,  more  is  expected  to  be 
heard  of  him  in  the  coming 
seasons.

7^e  1947  %«m&*M  Setuo*t 


The  illustrious  Bobcats  of  West  Virginia 
Wesleyan  proved  to  be  just  that  during  the 
1947  baseball  season.  This  was  a  season 
highlighted  by  the  signing  of  contracts  to 
play  professional  ball  by  "Shorts"  Humphreys, 
pitcher,  and  "Rocko"  Meyers,  outfielder. 

Having  started  with  four  straight  innings 
of  no-hit  ball,  "Sawbuck"  Sawyers  pitched 
the  Bobcats  to  an  11-7  win  over  the  Salem 
Tigers  on  the  Wesleyan  diamond,  April  16. 
For  the  first  few  innings  things  appeared  to 
be  pretty  much  of  romp  until  the  Salemites 
finally  adjusted  their  batting  eyes  to  the 
smoking  fast  ball  of  Sawyers.  It  was  not  until 
the  fifth  inning  did  Salem  get  out  of  their 
slump    to    rush    three    runs    across   the    plate. 

You  can't  always  win  them  all,  as  the  Bob- 
cats hurriedly  found  out  on  the  local  diamond 
the  following  Friday  afternoon.  The  Falcons 
of  Fairmont  State  racked  up  a  one-sided  score 
of  21-3  before  a  crowd  of  loyal  Wesleyan  fans 
who  sweltered  in  the  hot  sun  for  nine  long 
innings 

Practice  seemed  to  be  the  by-word  as  the 
game  progressed.  Wesleyan  had  only  one 
game  under  its  belt  and  very  little  practice 
mainly  due  to  wet  grounds;  therein  lay  the 
success  of  the  Falcons.  The  Bobcat  battery, 
paced  by  Humphreys,  Ellis,  and  Patterson, 
worked  hard — only  to  fall  short.  One  of  the 
main  highlights  of  the  game  occurred  when 
a  long  fly  to  left  field  was  snagged  by 
"Rocko"  Meyers  and  snapped  to  Yurick  at 
second  for  a  beautiful  play.  Statistics  show 
that  Fairmont  connected  for  19  hits  compared 
to  the  Bobcats'   five,  all  singles. 

A  single  in  the  10th  inning,  by  Davidson, 
proved  to  be  the  deciding  factor  in  the  fol- 
lowing contest  with  West  Virginia  Tech  which 
those  boys  wrapped  up  and  took  home,  9-8. 
For  the  first  couple  of  innings  it  looked  like 
Tech's  ball   game,   but  the   Bobcats  drove    in 


two  runs  in  the  second,  and  four  more  in  the 
third  to  make  the  scoreboard  read  6-3  at  the 
beginning  of  the  fourth.  The  locals  continued 
to  lead  the  way  until  the  ninth,  when  Tech 
pushed  across  three  runs  to  tie  the  score  at 
eight-all   going    into  the    10th. 

In  the  next  game,  with  the  Glenville  Pio- 
neers, Norman  Page  ("Lefty")  Smith  pitched 
a  fighting  Bobcat  nine  to  a  14-5  decision  on 
the  Pioneer  diamond.  Allowing  the  Blue  and 
White  only  five  hits,  Lefty  was  backed  up 
by  the  Wesleyan  slugging  stalwarts.  Glenville 
took  a  3-1  lead  in  the  first  inning  only  to 
find  themselves  limited  to  just  two  more  runs 
during  the  remaining  eight  innings  while  the 
Cats  went  on  a  rampage  to  score  13  more 
runs.  This  win  evened  up  the  won-lost  game 
tally,   two  and  two. 

A  return  game  with  West  Virginia  Tech 
followed,  permitting  the  Wesleyan  nine  to 
even   up  the  game   score  with  a   3-2  win. 

Traveling  north  to  Philippi  to  engage 
Alderson-Broaddus  next,  the  Bobcats  lost  a 
heartbreaker,  7-6,  to  the  boys  up  on  the  hill. 

On  returning  to  the  College  diamond  for  a 
tussle  with  the  Glenville  Pioneers,  out  to 
avenge  their  earlier  defeat,  the  locals  emerged 
from  the  fracas  even  more  heartbroken.  In  a 
nip  and  tuck  horsehide  duel  all  the  way,  both 
teams  had  garnered  five  runs  at  the  end  of 
the  ninth  inning.  At  bat  the  first  half  of  the 
10th,  the  Pioneers  scraped  up  one  run  on  an 
error  and  a  single  to  take  home  the  game. 
One  of  Shorts  Humphrey's  better  days,  he 
allowed  the  Pioneers  only  seven  hits  and 
fanned    12  in  the  process. 

Of  the  three  games  remaining  on  the 
schedule,  Wesleyan  lost  successive  return 
engagements  to  Fairmont,  8-2,  and  Salem, 
8-1,  before  defeating  a  stubborn  Alderson- 
Broaddus  nine  by  a  score  of  6-4  to  wind  up 
the   season.

Touch  football  was  the  first  Intramural 
sport  undertaken  at  Wesleyan  this  year.  With 
nine  teams  and  some  80  boys  participating, 
the  games  were  started.  They  were  played  on 
the  large  green  field  which  lies  between  the 
Student  Center  and  the  athletic  stadium.  The 
field  was  lined  off  by  members  of  the  intra- 
mural department,  and  then  the  pigskin  sport 
got   underway. 

Under  the  able  direction  of  Dave  Reem- 
snyder,  men's  intramural  program  director, 
and  "Mel"  Herold,  student  assistant  to  Mr. 
Reemsnyder,  games  were  scheduled  and 
played   accordingly. 

Several  students  who  were  interested  in 
athletics  served  as  referees  and  thus  gained 
valuable  experience  for  themselves  and 
greatly  benefitted  the  intramural  department 
by  donating  their  time  and  services.  Some  of 
the  fellows  who  served  as  referees  were:  Walt 
Wise,  Dick  Walton,  "Rock"  Myers,  Garth 
Hood,  Maurice  Miller,  and  John  Marchinnes.

Intramural  football  was  a  feature  activity 
on  Wesleyan's  campus  those  first  three  weeks 
of  school.  During  the  latter  part  of  September, 
October,  and  the  first  part  of  November, 
touch  football  held  the  campus  spotlight. 
Persons  coming  to  the  pits  nearby  to  pitch 
horseshoes  usually  ended  up  watching  a  close 
game  of  intramural  football. 

In  spite  of  the  rainy  weather,  fans  kept 
coming  to  kibitz  on  the  sidelines  and  the 
playoffs   continued. 

The  season  wound  up  with  the  flashy 
Variety  Boys  winning  the  title  with  five 
straight  wins  against  no  losses.  This  fleet- 
footed  team  was  captained  by  "Rock"  Myers. 
Running  a  close  second  was  the  mighty  team 
from  northern  West  Virginia,  the  Panhand- 
lers. Captained  by  the  shrewd  Walt  Wise,  the 
Panhandlers  racked  up  a  record  of  five  wins 
and    one    loss.

Between  the  two  main  intramural  sports,  football  and 
basketball,  there  was  a  short  season  of  volleyball.  In  the 
volleyball  tournament  the  teams  were  divided  into  two 
leagues  to  make  the  playoffs  easier.  In  the  A  league  the 
Dirty  Socks  took  the  title  with  four  wins  and  no  losses.  The 
B  league  ended  in  a  three-way  split  for  first  place.  The 
Sigmates,  Happy  Morons,  and  the  Phoenix  Club,  all  with 
two  wins  and  one  loss,  shared  the  first-place  honors.  The 
staff  regrets  that  we  have  been  unable  to  get  pictures  of  the 
volleyball    teams. 

After  intramural  volleyball,  basketball  came  into  its  own. 
This  sport  drew  more  interest  and  participants  than  football 
and  volleyball  together.  Twenty-four  teams  with  approxi- 
mately 200  men  signed  up  to  play  basketball.  There  were  so 
many  teams  that  three  leagues  were  formed. 

Games  were  played  in  each  league  until  the  middle  of 
March,  at  which  time  tournaments  were  held  in  each  league. 
Each  team  had  an  equal  chance  to  win  the  championship  of 
its  own  particular  league. 

In  the  A  league,  the  Wristons  won  the  tournament 
playoffs;  the  Wolfpack  won  the  tournament  title  in  the  B 
league,  and  in  the  C  league,  the  Czars  won  the  title.

Under  the  direction  of  Associate 
Professor  Dave  Reemsnyder,  assisted 
by  Physical  Education  student  "Mel" 
Harold,  the  1947-48  men's  intra- 
murals  attracted  a  total  of  478  par- 
ticipants. A  breakdown  on  this  figure 
reveals  about  80  men  active  in  the 
touch  football  league,  84  volleyball 
players,  200  basketball  participants, 
30  tennis  enthusiasts,  36  ping  pong 
players,  and  48  men  in  the  handball 
ladder  tournaments.  The  program 
was  obviously  a  huge  success,  with 
all  who  participated  benefitting 
greatly  not  only  physically  but  even 
more  in  promoting  the  friendly  spirit 
of  Wesleyan    sportsmanship. 

In  the  singles  tennis  tournament, 
Jack  Dartnell  defeated  Jack  Hufham 
for  the  title  in  the  final  match,  The 
Oldaker  brothers,  Dave  and  Ed,  won 
over  Dartnell  and  Hufham  in  the 
doubles  tennis  tournament  for  the 
title.

SPORTS 

Women's  athletics  constitute  an  interesting  and 
spectacular  part  of  the  physical  education  program  of 
the  College.  The  girls'  portion  of  this  program  consists 
of  a  series  of  intramural  contests  in  each  of  the  popular 
sports  under  the  sponsorship  of  the  Women's  Athletic 
Association.  Credit  for  the  success  of  the  program  is 
due  not  only  to  the  individual  class  participants  but 
also  to  Miss  Knepshield,  advisor  to  the  W.A.A.  and 
departmental  head  of  the  women's  physical  education 
program.  Tournaments  were  held  in  hockey,  volleyball, 
basketball,  ping  pong,  shuffleboard,  badminton,  and 
Softball;  a  total  of  nearly  500  girls  participated  in 
these   contests. 

Aside  from  taking  part  in  these  sports  for  the  health- 
ful activity  and  the  pleasure  in  them,  the  girls  were 
working  toward  a  higher  goal — the  W.A.A.  Key — 
which  marks  the  ultimate  achievement  for  active  partici- 
pation in  the  women's  athletic  program.  The  Key  is 
awarded  on  the  basis  of  a  designated  number  of  points 
earned  for  each  sport  played.  This  year  there  were  on 
the  campus  two  Senior  girls  wearing  this  award,  both 
of  whom  earned  their  Keys  at  the  start  of  their  Junior 
year.  The  girls,  Velma  Smith  and  Fern  Christofel,  are 
seen    in    the   softball    picture    in    the    panel    at   the    right. 


Softball 

In  the  spring  a  young  man's  fancy  turns  to  thoughts 
of  love — but  the  girls  on  the  Wesleyan  campus  turned 
to  softball  as  something  to  occupy  the  sunny  afternoons. 
Class  teams  participated  in  the  tournament,  and  each 
team  put  on  a  good  show  with  much  gained  physically, 
mentally,    and    (Ed.    note:     strangely    enough!)    socially. 

Badminton 

One  of  the  newest  of  the  individual  sports  to  be 
added  to  the  intramural  program  was  badminton. 
Separate  single  elimination  tournaments  were  held  in 
both  singles  and  doubles  with  approximately  50  girls 
taking  part.  Although  one  of  the  newest,  this  sport 
proved    to    be   one   of    the    most   popular. 


Shuffleboard 

Another  of  the  individual  sports  to  be  newly  added 
to  the  intramural  program  this  year  was  that  popular 
indoor  sport,  shuffleboard.  Single  elimination  tourna- 
ments were  established  for  both  singles  and  doubles, 
and  the  two  courts  in  the  gym  were  kept  busy  most 
of   the    time. 


Ping    Pong 


Three  cheers  to  Pat  Pickens  for  winning  the  singles 
tournament  in  ping  pong  and  teaming  with  Alda 
Wagner  to  win  the  doubles — proving  she's  really  a 
master  of  the  little  white  ball.  Runners-up  in  the  hard- 
fought  elimination  matches  were:  Mary  Jo  Gee,  in  the 
singles;  and  Mary  Ellen  Lawson  and  Peggy  Cross,  in 
the   doubles.

A  group  of  approximately  12  agile  girls 
contribute  on  occasion  to  the  campus  pro- 
grams sponsored  by  the  Physical  Education 
Department.  The  tumbling  feats  of  these  girls 
include  a  wide  variety  of  specialties  per- 
formed  with   precision   and   grace. 

Listed  on  their  repertoire  are  such  stunts 
as  forward  and  backward  rolls,  flips,  pyra- 
mids, cartwheels,  chest  rolls,  all  types  of 
shoulder  and  thigh  stands,  and  both  double 
and  triple  rolls.  The  girls  have  developed  and 
polished  their  performances  entirely  on  their 
own  during  the  off-hours  of  campus  life  when 
they  were  able  to  put  in  the  required  long 
periods  of  strenuous  practice. 

In  addition  to  their  appearance  as  a  feature 
of  the  traditional  annual  May  Day  Festival, 
the  services  of  this  group  are  made  use  of  in 
assembly  programs  and  other  campus  enter- 
tainments.

It's  really  the  truth  when  we  say  that  some 
girls  on  the  campus  swing  a  mean  hockey 
stick — there  were  a  good  many  bruises  and 
bumps  to  prove  it!  Seven  teams  were  entered 
in  the  hockey  tournament  and  all  seven 
played   good,    hard,   and   fast   hockey. 

Schaal's  Freshmen,  Hunt's  Freshmen,  and 
Clelland's  Seniors  were  eliminated  the  first 
round.  In  the  second  round,  Wickham's 
Sophomores  defeated  Hinshelwood's  Sopho- 
mores, and  Simpson's  Juniors  slaughtered 
Young's  Freshmen.  In  the  final  round  of  the 
tournament,  neither  Wickham's  nor  Simpson's 
crew  could  get  the  upper  hand;  after  a  game 
and  an  over-period,  the  score  remained  tied. 
So,  as  far  as  the  hockey  intramurals  were 
concerned,  we  had  co-champions  with  Simp- 
son's Juniors  (pictured  lower  left)  and  Wick- 
ham's Sophomores  (pictured  upper  right)  shar- 
ing the  title  honors. 

And  o  rugged  tournament  it  was!  It  hit  the 
athletic  field  like  a  cyclone  and  gave  the 
spectators  a  gay  time  keeping  track  of  the 
little  white  ball  as  it  was  knocked  from  one 
end  of  the  field  to  the  other  and  then  back 
again.  All  the  games  were  played  under  the 
lights  and  did  much  to  add  some  color  and 
excitement  to  the  campus  scene  for  a  couple 
of  weeks  in  November.

BASKETBALL 

The  girls'  basketball  season  was  completed  late  in 
March,  and  the  tournament  proved  to  be  quite  long 
and  exciting.  W.A.A.  Sports  Manager  Maxine  Birck- 
head  did  a  great  job  in  organizing  the  intramural 
tournaments — and  especially  basketball.  Two  round 
robin  leagues  were  run  off  with  five  teams  in  each 
league,  then  a  final  round  robin  was  held  among  the 
winners    and    runner-ups    of    the    two    initial    leagues. 

In  League  I,  the  Seniors,  captained  by  Butler,  took 
first  honors.  They  were  followed  successively  by  Mur- 
dock's  Freshmen  IV  team,  Hayes's  Juniors,  the  sorry 
Sophomores  of  Thomas,  and  Bailey's  dilapidated  Fresh- 
men II.  In  League  II,  the  Junior  proteges  of  Hadjis 
were  too  much  for  their  league-mates;  they  took  the 
title  with  a  percentage  of  1.000.  Next  in  line  came 
the  Freshmen  III  team,  driven  on  by  Sue  Berry;  then 
Sophomore  I,  coaxed  on  by  Alda  Wagner;  Freshmen  I, 
urged  by  Cross;  and  finally,  Freshmen  V,  consoled  by 
Marshall.  The  winners  of  both  leagues  deserve  a  round 
of  cheers  for  these  games  were  hard   fought. 

The  final  round  robin,  among  the  four  leading  teams 
of  the  two  initial  leagues,  proved  interesting  though  not 
quite  as  exciting  as  the  earlier  contests.  One  of  the 
games,  that  between  the  Juniors  and  the  Seniors  was 
played  as  a  preliminary  game  to  the  Salem-Wesleyan 
varsity  tilt.  It  was  a  great  game;  and,  though  the 
Juniors  won  out  in  the  end,  the  Seniors  were  leading 
with  only  one  minute  to  play.  Following  this  defeat,  the 
Seniors  decided  to  forfeit  the  rest  of  their  games.  This 
left  only  three  teams  in  the  running;  from  these  the 
Juniors  emerged  first  to  become  the  Women's  Basket- 
ball  Champions  of    1948 

A  definite  and  necessary  part  of  every  game  are  the 
officials,  of  course;  due  credit  must  be  given  them  for 
their  efforts.  The  referees  of  this  tournament  were  a 
group  of  seven  girls;  Robinson,  Ross,  Birckheod,  Smith, 
Christofel,  Clelland,  and  Evans.  They  had  the  ever- 
faithful  assistance  of  Miss  Knepshield  when  the  going 
got  tough.  The  success  of  this  tournament  is  due  also 
to  the  timekeepers  and  scorers;  we  take  this  opportunity 
to   thank   them    for    their    services.

The  river  of  Time,  on  which  all  things  forever  drift, 
guided  in  their  courses  by  the  restless  figure  of  Change,  has 
moved  the  campus  organizations  another  year  forward  in 
what,  for  many  of  them,  has  been  a  long  period  of  service  to 
the  campus  community.  The  year  in  its  swift  passage  down 
the  deep-channeled,  pulsing  time-river  saw  Change,  recog- 
nizing the  greater  variety  of  interests  among  the  record 
student  population,  bring  into  being  a  number  of  new  organ- 
izations. The  struggles  of  some  few  of  these  new  groups  have 
gradually  weakened  in  the  swift  current  of  the  ceaseless 
flood,  but  others  appear  to  hove  a  strong  grasp  on  the  straw 
of  life  breasting  the  rushing  tides  of  Time. 

Meanwhile,  the  older  organizations  have  been  rolling 
majestically  along,  adding  new  achievements  to  their  already 
long  lists  of  noteworthy  attainments.  Change  worked  rather 
extensively  during  the  year  with  a  number  of  these  long 
established  groups;  basic  reorganizationol  work  has  resulted 
in  their  thorough  remodeling.  Many  have  thus  taken  on  a 
wider  scope  of  activity,  broadening  the  services  rendered 
their  members  and  the  campus  community  at  large. 

Change  may  well  be  proud  of  his  artistry  in  effecting 
these  far-reaching  progressive  steps  which  Time,  we  feel, 
will  undertake  to  prove  of  inestimable  value.  The  stature  of 
any  institution  of  higher  learning  is  dependent,  to  an  appre-

The  first  task  the  1948  Community  Council  set 
for  itself  immediately  on  assuming  its  responsi- 
bilities at  the  end  of  the  1946-47  schoolyear  was 
a  complete  revision  of  the  existing  inadequate 
constitution.  This  objective  was  accomplished  when, 
on  June  20,  1947,  the  Council  adopted  the 
constitution  under  which  it  has  functioned  so  ably 
this   year. 

Working  through  the  summer,  the  group  com- 
pleted in  its  initial  three  meetings  the  necessary 
appointments  of  members  to  the  standing  com- 
mittees. In  three  July  meetings,  a  determined 
effort  on  the  part  of  the  Council  to  bring  Student 
Union  finances  out  into  the  open  resulted  in  the 
innovation  of  a  bookkeeping  system  which  permits 
regular  quarterly  reports  covering  all  phases  of 
the  Union's  financial   situation. 

In  the  initial  meeting  of  the  Council  after  the 
College  reopened  in  September,  the  first  quarterly 
report  of  the  Student  Union  finances  was  received. 
The  Sigma  Eta  Delta  reorganization  was  given 
recognition,  and  Pi  Epsilon  Theta  was  granted  per- 
mission   to    organize    as    a    chapter    of    the    national 


philosophic  fraternity.  Late  in  October  the  new 
Student  Union  by-laws  were  approved;  campus  and 
building  improvements  were  discussed,  the  World 
Student  Service  Fund  drive  approved,  and  $100  of 
the  Union's  finances  was  made  available  for  the 
use  of  the  Council.  The  November  meeting  of  the 
governing  group  brought  a  promise  of  action  from 
the  administration  on  the  proposed  campus  and 
building  improvements.  Registration  of  automobiles 
parked  on  the  campus  was  scheduled  for  the  second 
semester.  An  initial  discussion  of  the  chapel  and 
assembly  situation   was  held. 

The  first  December  meeting  resulted  in  a  move 
to  register  the  constitution,  by-laws,  and  member- 
ship list  of  all  campus  student  organizations.  A 
committee  was  formed  to  plan  a  banquet  for  the 
football  team;  a  report  from  the  Religious  Activities 
committee  was  heard,  and  a  delegate  was  sent  to 
the  regional  meeting  of  the  National  Student  Asso- 
ciation in  Lynchburg.  The  final  meeting  of  the 
calendar  year  brought  recognition  to  the  Phoenix 
Club.  Committees  were  formed  to  investigate 
affiliation  with  the  N.S.A.  and  the  dissatisfaction 
with  the  chapel  and  assembly  programs.  The 
College,  through  the  Council,  was  host  to  the 
reorganizational  meeting  of  the  W.  Va.  Federa- 
tion of  College   Students   on    December    12  and    13. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  new  year  brought 
reports  from  the  Social  Activities  committee,  the 
banquet  committee,  and  a  financial  report  from 
the  Student  Union.  The  presidents  of  each  class 
were  in  attendance  and  a  student  government 
assembly  was  planned  for  February  5  to  encourage 
student  interest  in  this  vital  phase  of  campus  life. 
The  car  registration  plan  was  restated.  Meeting 
late  in  February,  the  Council  decided  to  dispense 
with  the  bulletin  boards  and  assembly  announce- 
ments by  issuing  weekly  announcement  bulletins. 
Reports  were  heard  on  the  class  meetings  held 
following  the  student  government  assembly.  A 
small  deficit  incurred  by  the  football  banquet 
committee  was  made  up  out  of  Council  funds. 
Early  in  March,  membership  in  the  W.  Va.  Federa- 
tion of  College  Students  was  voted,  and  two 
Council  delegates  were  appointed  to  attend  the 
Federation  meeting  held  April  9  and  10  at  the 
University.

Virtually  an  autonomous  unit  of  the 
Community  Council,  The  Student  Union 
Committee  holds  as  its  responsibility  the 
provision  of  an  adequate  social,  recrea- 
tional, and  extra-curricular  program  on 
the  West  Virginia  Wesleyan  Campus.  It 
draws  up  plans  and  controls  the  operation 
of  the  Student  Center,  subject  to  the 
approval   of  the  Community  Council. 

The  Student  Center  has  been  kept  open 
nearly  all  the  time  for  the  use  of  the 
entire  student  body;  the  large  Social  Room 
was  frequently  reserved  during  the  year 
for  the  parties  and  other  activities  of  the 
various  campus  organizations.  This  whole 
new  campus  social  program  was  begun 
with  the  advent  of  the  new  Student  Center 
building;  its  construction  was  completed 
early   last  summer. 

All-campus  affairs  during  the  summer 
included  several  parties  and  an  all- 
campus  picnic.  The  Fall  semester  was 
begun  by  the  kick-off  party  for  Freshmen. 
Later,  "Wesleyantics,"  the  student  variety 
show,  was  presented  under  the  sponsor- 
ship of  the  Student  Union  Committee. 
This  event  began  the  Homecoming  pro- 
gram which  included  a  party  for  students 
and  the  visiting  Alumni. 

During  the  holiday  season  a  Christmas 
party  was  held,  and  a  few  weeks  later  the 
second  semester  was  opened  with  a  lively 
affair.  A  ball  in  honor  of  St.  Patrick's 
Day,  at  which  the  varsity  sports  teams 
were  also  honored,  came  next  on  the 
program. 

Among  the  events  entirely  new  to 
campus  life  this  semester  were  regular 
Saturday  night  movies  featuring  such  full 
length  shows  as  "Grapes  of  Wrath,"  "The 
"Rains  Came,"  and  "Young  Mr.  Lincoln." 
Week-end  mixers  for  students  and  faculty 


were  held  one  evening  nearly  every  week;  and 
programs  of  classical  music  on  records  were 
given  on  Sunday  afternoons.  This  last  feature 
was  presented  in  cooperation  with  the  Reli- 
gious Activities  Committee,  another  of  the 
standing  committees  of  the  Community 
Council.  These  two  committees  also  served  an 
all-campus  breakfast  twice  during  the  Lenten 
Season. 

A  reception  was  held  for  the  visiting  alumni 
before  the  football  banquet.  The  last  big 
event  presented  during  the  past  schoolyear 
was  a  May  Day  Dance  which  concluded  the 
program  featuring  the  crowning  of  the  May 
Queen.  Jerry  Wald  and  his  well-known  orch- 
estra were  highlighted  at  this  main  event 
concluding  the  committee's  social  program 
for  the  year.

Delta  Psi  Kappa  is  a  national  fraternity 
composed  of  women  majoring  in  physical 
education. 

On  May  17,  1947,  the  dreams  of  14  girls 
were  realized  when  the  "phyeds"  of  West 
Virginia  Wesleyan  College  became  affiliated 
with  Delta  Psi  Kappa.  The  phyeds  had  been 
an  active  organization  on  the  campus  since 
the  fall  of  1945.  At  that  time  a  group  of 
physical  education  majors  banded  together 
under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Charlotte  Knep- 
shield,  with  the  goal  in  mind  of  later  peti- 
tioning a  National  Physical  Education  Fra- 
ternity. The  formal  installation  was  held  in 
May,  1947,  with  the  national  vice-president 
from   Philadelphia  conducting  the  service. 

Charter  members  were  Velma  Smith,  Betty 
June  Reed,  Mary  Algene  Baily,  Imogene 
Randolph,  Rayma  Gene  Brother,  Mary  Alice 
Cole,  Maxine  Birckhead,  Betty  Jo  Hogsett, 
Fern  Christofel,  Gladys  Evans,  Hollace  Wilson, 
Alberta  Robinson,  and  Alice  Ross. 

The  program  of  the  year  included  the 
sponsoring  of  "Wesleyanantics,"  a  student 
variety  show,  furnishing  programs  for  the 
State  College  Basketball  Tournament;  and  an 
initiation  dinner.

chapter  of  this  fraternity  was  a  local  group 
at  the  Fairmont  State  Teachers  College;  tak-

organization.  Wesleyan's  chapter  was  among

Alpha  Gamma  Delta,  formerly  the  Sigma  Pi  Delta 
local  social  sorority,  made  its  debut  on  West  Virginia 
Wesleyan's  campus  March  20,  1948,  when  the  Alpha 
Omicron  chapter  was   installed. 

The  second  national  women's  fraternity  to  be 
established  at  Wesleyan,  (Alpha  Gamma  Delta),  has 
as  its  colors  red,  buff,  and  green  The  flowers  are 
red  and  buff  roses.  The  ideals  and  aims  are  "to  gain 
understanding  that  wisdom  may  be  vouchsafed  to 
me,  to  cultivate  acquaintance  with  the  many  whom 
I  meet;  to  honor  my  home,  my  country,  and  my 
religious  faith;  to  hold  truth  inviolable,  and  sincerity 


and    kindness  essential;    and  to  possess   high    ideals, 
seeking  to  attain  somewhat  unto  them." 

The  activities  of  the  year  began  with  the  home- 
coming float  portraying  the  "typical  Wesleyan  girl." 
The  annual  formal  rush  dinner,  featuring  a  visit 
from  the  stork,  at  Mrs.  Alonzo  Miller's,  was  followed 
by  a  dance  at  the  Upshur  Building.  Other  activities 
have  been  a  pledge  dance  for  the  girls  and  their 
dates,  a  bake  sale,  a  marshmallow  party  given  by 
the  pledges,  and  a  sunrise  breakfast  climaxed  by  all 
attending   church  together.

This  national  social  fraternity  was  founded  at  Yale 
College  in  1845,  and  it  is  now  one  of  the  oldest  and 
largest  Greek  letter  fraternities. 

Originally  Chi  Alpha  Tau,  a  local  fraternity  on  the 
Wesleyan  campus,  the  group  went  national  when  it 
merged  with  Alpha  Kappa  Pi.  Its  merger  in  1946 
with  Alpha  Sigma  Phi  put  Wesleyan  on  the  map  with 
a  great  many  of  the  oldest  and  largest  colleges  and 
universities  across  the  country.  The  Alpha  Sig  colors 
are  cardinal  red  and  stone  grey;  the  official  flower 
is  the  talisman    rose. 

Beta  Nu  chapter  participated  wholeheartedly  at 
Homecoming  by  entering  a  skit  in  "Wesleyantics," 
building  a  float  for  the  parade,  extensively  decorating 
their  house,  and  its  members  served  as  guides.  Dur- 
ing the  year  they  gave  a  dance  for  the  actives,  held 


a  pledge  dance,  a  spring  formal,  and  assembly. 
Their  minstrel  show  in  March  made  good  use  of  the 
Alpha  Sig  musical  talent.  This  show  was  presented 
in  the  local  high  school  and  in  other  schools  through- 
out the  state. 

Among  the  many  Alpha  Sigs  who  have  made 
valuable  contributions  to  the  leadership  on  the  Wes- 
leyan campus  are  Bob  Gay,  Business  Manager  of  the 
1948  MURMURMONTIS,  Eugene  Ricketts,  Playshop 
treasurer  and  member  of  the  Publications  Committee, 
Tene  Borrelli,  PHAROS  sports  editor  and  member  of 
the  Conduct  Committee,  Joe  Witek,  varsity  football 
and  baseball  player  and  president  of  the  Spanish 
Club,  and  Alva  Jones,  member  of  the  Wesleyan  Band 
and  dance  orchestra  leader.

The  Alpha  Xi  Delta  fraternity  was  founded  at 
Knox  College,  Galesburg,  Illinois,  in  1893  and  was 
the  first  national  sorority  to  be  founded  at  West 
Virginia  Wesleyan;  its  charter  was  granted  in  Octo- 
ber,   1947. 

Beta  Sigma  chapter  began  its  activities  with  its 
installation  in  October  and  a  semi-formal  dance.  At 
Homecoming,  Alpha  Xi  Delta  won  first  prize  for  its 
parade  float;  Mary  Louise  Coberly  was  Queen,  and 
Marion  Wickham,  Mary  Hadjis,  and  Alice  Ross  were 
attendants.  A  Homecoming  tea  was  held  for  the  visit- 
ing alumnae,  and  later  a  party  was  given  for  Sigma 
Pi  Delta,  then  pledged  Alpha  Gamma  Delta.  In 
February,  Alpha  Xi  held  a  Valentine's  Dance  and 
in  May  the  traditional    Rose   Dance. 


Other  members  of  Alpha  Xi  Delta  have  distin- 
guished themselves  on  our  campus.  Barbara  Capet, 
Mary  Hadjis,  and  Barbara  Hinchelwood  are  cheer- 
leaders. Mary  is  also  Treasurer  of  the  Betty  Lamp 
Club.  Lena  Flinn  is  Secretary  of  the  Junior  Class, 
Mary  Louise  Coberly  is  Co-Secretary  of  the  Com- 
munity Council,  Lois  Clark  is  Secretary  of  the  Pan- 
handle Club,  and  Hazel  Shomo  is  President  of  the

Lamp  Club  and  Jane  Wyncoop  is  Secretary  of  the 
Sophomore  Class,  Co-Secretary  of  the  Community 
Council,  and  Secretary  of  the  Women's  Athletic

Kappa  Alpha,  one  of  the  original  southern  fra- 
ternities, bases  its  doctrine  and  teachings  on  the 
idea  of  the  "perfect  gentleman"  as  exemplified  in 
the  life  of  Robert  E.  Lee.  The  first  chapter  was 
established  at  Washington  College,  now  Washington 
and  Lee  University,  in  1865.  The  flowers  of  the 
order  are  the  Crimson  Rose  and  the  Magnolia 
blossom.  Its  motto  is  "Dieu  et  les  Dames"  and  the 
colors  are  crimson   and  old   gold 


This  year  the  chapter  entered  a  skit  in  Wesley- 
antics,  participated  in  all  intra-mural  sports,  and 
sponsored  a  hay-ride,  masquerade  and  theater  par- 
ties, a  semi-formal  Christmas  dance,  Saint  Patrick's 
day  dance,  and  their  annual   Spring   Formal. 

Charles  Donley  was  co-captain  of  the  varsity  foot- 
ball team,  Jim  Morris  is  President  of  the  Sophomore 
class,  and  John  Wright  was  Treasurer  of  the  Benzene 
Ring,  as  well  as  Chairman  of  the  Inter-fraternity 
Council.

'Kafifia  rftfr&a  Omeya 


Kappa  Phi  Omega,  the  only  local  sorority  remain- 
ing on  the  campus,  was  organized  in  October,  1925. 
It  was  the  second  woman's  group  on  the  campus. 
Included  among  their  aims  are  friendship  and  love 
toward  every  student,  a  broader  spirit  of  democracy, 
and  a  high  standard  of  scholarship.  Their  sorority 
colors  are  orchid  and  yellow  and  their  flower  is  the 
yellow  tea    rose. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  a  party  was  held  in 
Dr.  Hyma's  apartment.  Several  coke  parties  followed 


and  a  work-fest,  held  by  the  president,  Billy  Ann 
Wally,  preceded  the  rush  party  which  centered 
around  the  Presbyterian  church  and  the  Lion's  Den. 
A  timely  float,  predicting  the  death  of  Waynesburg, 
was  entered  in  the  Homecoming  Parade.  A  pledging 
ceremony  was  held  at  Mrs.  J.  E.  Reger's  Buckhannon 
home. 

The  sorority  was  not  fully  active  this  year,  but  it 
expects  to  resume  full  activities  at  the  beginning  of 
the  next  school  year.

Sc^ma  Sta  'Deita 


The  Sigma  Eta  Delta  local  fraternity  was  founded 
on  West  Virginia  Wesleyan's  campus  in  1925.  It 
was  very  active  until  1943  when  it  merged  with  what 
was  then  the  Alpha  Kappa  Pi.  In  1947  it  was  re- 
established as  a  local  group  and  now  has  10  actives 
and  6  pledges.  This  fraternity  exists  in  order  that  a 
group  of  Wesleyan  men,  possessing  kindred  interests, 
may  be  united  within  the  bonds  of  fellowship  for 
their  mutual  and  individual  benefit.  The  official 
colors  are  red  and  white,  and  the  flower  is  the  red 
carnation. 


Members  of  Sigma  Eta  Delta  have  distinguished 
themselves  in  various  ways  since  their  re-organiza- 
tion. Lee  Cosgrove  is  Treasurer  of  the  Benzene  Ring 
French  Queen  is  on  the  debate  team,  and  Harold 
Rohr,  President  of  Sigma  Eta  Delta,  is  Treasurer  of 
the  Senior  class. 

The  fraternity  was  active  in  intra-mural  sports 
and  won  the  volleyball  tournament.  It  also  sponsored 
several  "smokers"  and  a  semi-formal  dance  in 
February. 


Patje  One  Hundi  ■  d  and  On 


The  Benzene  Ring  dates  back  to  1921  when  it  was 
founded  to  "create  a  greater  interest  in  physical 
science,  acquire  a  wider  knowledge  of  its  various 
branches,  and  to  establish  the  scientific  department 
of  the  College  on  a   higher  plane." 

It  is  recognized  as  being  the  oldest  existent  student 
organization  on  the  campus  and,  in  the  1 947-48 
school  year,  it  was  the  largest  organization  on  the 
campus,    having    one    hundred    and    ten    members. 

Initiation     is    held    at    the     beginning    of    each 
school    year.    Membership    is    by    invitation    to    those 


students  majoring  or  minoring  in  chemistry  and  who 
maintain   an   "A"   or   "B"   average. 

Meetings  are  held  on  the  first  and  third  Mondays 
of  each  school  month.  Distinguished  speakers  hold 
discussions  and  give  lectures  of  an  educational  nature 
on  the   latest  progress   in   scientific   fields. 

Part  of  the  program  of  the  year  is  "Wesleyan  on 
Parade,"  an  all  student  program  of  talent  which  is 
presented  to  raise  money  for  campus  improvements. 
The  "crowning  of  the  camphor  king"  is  another 
tradition  sponsored  by  the  Benzene  Ring.

At  a  meeting  early  in  the  schoolyear  plans  were 
made  for  the  plays,  both  the  major  and  one  act 
dramas,  that  were  to  be  presented  during  the  year. 
The  first  major  play,  "Lost  Horizon,"  was  presented 
in  January.  Martie  Kursavich,  Donald  Martin,  Carle- 
ton  McKita,  James  Snedeker,  Stanley  Meyers,  and 
Margaret  Ann  Cyphers  were  members  of  the  main 
cast. 

"Bargains  in  Cathay,"  a  play  by  Rachel  Field,  was 
presented  in  assembly  and  in  several  high  schools 
in  the  vicinity  of  Wesleyan.  Leads  in  this  drama  were 
played  by  Carleton  McKita  and  Margaret  Ann 
Cyphers. 


The  annual  commencement  play  was  "The  Barretts 
of  Wimpole  Street,"  by  Bosier.  In  addition  to  acting, 
two  meetings  were  devoted  to  the  development  of 
make-up   technique. 

Associate  members  have  performed  notably  this 
year,  and  the  organization  anticipates  on  even  better 
year  next  year.  Initiation  of  members  who  have 
completed  entrance  requirements  took  place  the  first 
week  of  May. 

All  major  plays  have  been  directed  by  Miss  Stella 
Ward,  faculty  head  of  the  organization.  Plays  are 
chosen  by  Miss  Ward  in  cooperation  with  the  officers 
and  members  of  the  group.

The  Christian  Service  Fellowship,  an  organization 
growing  out  of  the  Ministerial  Association,  was 
founded  at  Wesleyan  in  1946.  It  was  begun  under 
the  leadership  of  Dr.  Brown  and  its  former  president, 
Charles  Johnson. 

This  year  Dr.  Brown  is  their  sponsor  and  Professor 
Sidney  Davis  is  acting  as  counselor.  In  this  capacity, 
Professor  Davis  directs  and  advises  the  ministerial 
students  in  their  activities  in  rural  Methodist  churches 
in  surrounding  areas.  The  purpose  of  the  Fellowship 
is  to  unite  on  the  campus  all  students  who  are  pre- 
paring for  full-time  Christian  service.  They  endeavor 
to   develop   all    phases   of   the   student's    life   and    to 


render  all  possible  services  wherever  they  are  needed. 

One  main  project  of  the  year,  a  continuation  from 
last  year's  program,  has  been  to  hold  religious  serv- 
ices in  the  wards  at  the  State  Hospital  in  Weston. 
However  most  of  their  work  is  located  in  rural 
churches  where  they  hold  regular  services  to  aid  the 
student  pastors.  Also  they  work  with  the  young 
people  of  these  local  areas  to  develop  active  youth 
groups. 

Weekly  meetings  ore  held  in  Brown  Chapel  which 
the  group  remodeled  last  year.  These  meetings  are 
characterized  by  discussions  and  special  lectures  on 
various  phases  of  Christian  work  and   needs.

Wesleyan's  chapter  of  the  Philosophical  fraternity, 
the  first  to  be  founded  in  West  Virginia,  was  organ- 
ized in  1947  and  was  formally  initiated  April  20, 
1948.  This  fraternity  strives  to  encourage  the  spirit 
of  philosophical  study,  among  students,  both  in  and 
out  of  the  classroom,  and  to  emphasize  the  value  of 
voluntary  discipline  in  serious  inquiry.  The  motto, 
"Through  wisdom  to  love  of  God,"  serves  as  a  guide 
to  the  fraternity  members. 

All  members  of  the  fraternity  must  be  Philosophy 
students  who  have  maintained  at  least  a  "B"  average 
in  related  courses.  Another  requirement  is  the  writing 
of  some  philosophical  paper  which  may  be  completed 
as  part  of  a  course  of  study. 


The  main  activities  of  the  year  have  consisted  of 
meetings  at  which  discussions  on  designated  subjects 
are  held.  Topics  for  discussion  are  frequently  taken 
from  "The  Personalist,"  a  philosophical  review  pub- 
lished by  the  University  of  Southern  California. 
Subscriptions  to  this  magazine  were  presented  to  the 
members  of  the  fraternity  this  year. 

In  November,  a  meeting  of  the  entire  West  Vir- 
ginia society,  which  is  affiliated  with  the  Academy 
of  Science,  was  held  at  Wesleyan  with  the  local 
group  acting  as  host.  Professors  and  students  from  all 
schools  in  the  state  came  to  hold  discussions  on 
various  topics  and  to  make  a  survey  of  conditions 
concerning    philosophical    study  over  the   State.

The  Women's  Athletic  Association  was  organized 
to  increase  recreational  opportunities  for  Wesleyan 
Women.  Its  membership  is  open  to  all  women 
students. 

It  is  one  of  the  largest  and  most  active  organiza- 
tions on  the  campus.  Meetings  are  held  twice  a 
month,  one  being  a  business  meeting  and  the  other 
a   recreational  one. 


Activities  of  this  organization  include:  the  annual 
week-end  trips  to  Jackson's  Mill,  a  Christmas  party 
at  which  gifts  are  brought  and  distributed  by  the 
Girl  Scouts  among  the  unfortunate  children  of  the 
town,  a  progressive  party,  a  snow  hike,  picnics,  and 
the  presentation  of  the  May  Day  program.  The 
association  is  interested  in  furthering  intramural 
sports  and  in  promoting  the  physical  welfare  of 
women    students.

A  chapter  of  the  national  American  Home  Eco- 
nomics Association,  the  Betty  Lamp  Club  takes  its 
name  from  a  type  of  lamp  used  by  pioneer  house- 
wives. 

This  organization  is  composed  of  members  major- 
ing or  minoring  in  Home  Economics.  It  was  estab- 
lished for  the  purpose  of  interesting  girls  in  home 
economics  and  to  provide  social  and  professional  aid. 
Meetings  are  held  once  a  month  at  the  Home 
Economics   Cottage. 


The  Betty  Lamp  Club  has  been  active  in  sponsor- 
ing a  special  social  affair  in  the  Home  Economics 
Cottage  for  Freshmen  and  transfer  students.  May 
held  the  most  outstanding  event  of  the  year  when 
the  annual  Mother-Daughter  Banquet  was  served. 
At  that  time,  the  new  officers  for  the  following  year 
were  installed  and  recognition  was  given  the  senior 
members.  Miss  Gladys  Cronemeyer  acts  as  advisor 
for  the  group.

*%auy6t  *&(t&uwh  Society 


Established  in  1925  in  honor  of  Dr.  Thomas  W. 
Haught,  professor  emeritus  and  college  historian, 
this  organization  is  limited  to  sixteen  girls  from  the 
upper  classes  who  are  interested  in  the  literary  arts. 
Graduating  members  name  their  successors  to  the 
organization. 

The  society's  aims  are  to  study  literature  and  to 


encourage  intelligent  criticism  of  letters  and  life.  It 
also  fosters  the  appreciation  of  literature  and  creative 
writing  on  the  campus. 

At  each  weekly  meeting  a  discussion  on  a  certain 
author  is  lead  by  a  guest  speaker  or  a  member  of 
the  club.  That  week  a  quotation  from  his  works  is 
given  by  each  girl   in  lieu  of  an  answer  to  roll  call.

THE  WESLEYAN  PHAROS,  published  semi- 
monthly by  the  undergraduates  of  the  College,  is  the 
student  newspaper.  This  year,  as  in  previous  years, 
the  staff  has  sought  to  report  clearly  and  accurately 
the  significant  campus  activities  so  that  Wesleyan 
students  may  keep  themselves  informed  about  their 
school. 

The  editor  and  the  business  manager  are  appointed 
by  the  Publications  Committee  on  the  basis  of  appli- 


cants' journalistic  experience,  their  schoolwork,  and 
their  interest  in  the  PHAROS.  The  editor  and  the 
business  manager  select  their  own  staffs  from  among 
those  students  interested  in  gaining  journalistic 
experience. 

The  highlight  of  the  1947-48  schoolyear's  activities 
was  an  April  Fool  edition  of  the  PHAROS.  It  came  as 
a  complete  surprise  to  the  entire  campus — including 
most  of  the  PHAROS  staff  members.

Fage  One  Hundred  and  Ten 


Looking  bock  through  this  '48  MURMURMONTIS 
as  we  go  to  press,  we  note  with  dismay  how  far  we've 
strayed  from  the  perfectionistic  ideals  with  which  we 
undertook  this  task.  Like  most  of  our  contemporaries 
unfamiliar  with  printing  techniques,  engraving  pro- 
cesses, editorial  methods,  and  the  like,  we  accepted 
our  task  in  the  naive  belief  a  yearbook  practically 
makes  itself — all  we  had  to  do  was  sort  the  pictures 
as  they  accumulated  and  "goo"  them,  not  too 
sloppily,  in  some  kind  of  order.  Somehow  we'd  con- 
fused "yearbook"  with  "scrapbook." 


Of  course  we  eventually  caught  on;  then,  face  to 
face  with  the  enormity  of  our  task,  we  realized  we'd 
have  to  compromise  with  ourselves  on  our  perfection- 
ism if  we  were  to  get  out  a  book  at  all.  Consequently 
we  limped  along  as  best  we  could  with  what  co- 
operation, equipment,  and  assistance  we  could  com- 
mand. Lest  all  this  sound  too  apologetic,  take  note 
of  this  parting  shot:  next  year  is  another  year  and 
YOU  will  have  the  opportunity  to  make  the  1949 
MURMURMONTIS  everything  you  think  a  yearbook 
should  be.  Our  blessings  rest  upon  you.

The  Wesleyan  Band,  formed  to  provide 
color  and  spirit  at  athletic  events,  and  to 
permit  study  of  the  best  music  for  the  con- 
cert band,  functions  under  the  direction  of 
C.  Buell  Agey.  During  the  year  it  played  at 
most  of  the  football  games  and  at  the  outdoor 
festivities  during  Homecoming  Weekend.  The 
band  gained  new  prestige  by  winning  a  silver 
cup  as  a  reward  for  being  the  best  marching 
unit  in  the  parade.  Three  Majorettes  and  two 
active  Drum  Majors  also  gave  grace  to  our 
group. 

When  Basketball  season  came  around,  the 
band  appeared  again,  playing  for  several 
games.  At  various  times  the  group  was  con- 
ducted by  members  of  the  class   in   Directing

which    was    studying    under    Professor    Agey. 

A  good  spirit  of  cooperation  between  the 
band  and  the  cheer-leaders  was  shown  and 
many  events  were  heralded  by  the  strains  of 
"Here's  To  Old  Wesleyan"  and  "West  Vir- 
ginia Wesleyan."  Some  of  the  members  were 
students  of  instrumental  music  but  many  of 
them  play  for  pleasure  alone. 

A  successful  season  has  prompted  Mr.  Agey 
to  begin  preparations  for  next  year.  The  main 
feature  of  the  preparation  so  far  has  been  the 
purchase  of  new  uniforms  in  the  gay  colors  of 
the  "Bobcat"  orange  and  black.  These  uni- 
forms follow  the  style  of  the  "battle  jacket" 
and  include  a  hat  patterned  after  the  hat  of 
a  flight  officer.

Under  the  direction  of  our  new  professor 
of  music,  Charles  W.  Forlines,  the  Wesleyan 
a  capella  Choir  began  the  1947-48  schoolyear 
by  presenting  a  special  anthem  in  the  chapel 
services  held  each  Tuesday  morning  in  Atkin- 
son Chapel.  The  first  full  concert  was  not 
given,  however,  until  the  Thanksgiving  holi- 
day, when  a  successful  program  was  sung. 

During  the  first  semester,  the  Choir  moved 
from  its  accustomed  spot  in  the  balcony  to 
occupy  a  prominent  place  on  the  stage  at 
many  of  the  religious  services.  During  the 
Christmas  season,  a  special  concert  was  sung 
for  the  public.  This  service  was  carried  out 
by  candlelight,  and  was  repeated  next  day 
in  chapel. 

With  the  second  semester  came  intensive 
preparation  for  the  annual  tour  of  the  Choir. 
On   Palm   Sunday  a  sacred  concert  was  pre-

A  picked  choir,  numbering  thirty-five, 
travelled  for  a  week  over  portions  of  the  Tri- 
Stote  area,  leaving  the  College  on  Easter 
Monday.  They  appeared  in  both  churches  and 
high  schools,  and  the  programs  included 
selected  sacred  and  secular  music. 

On  April  1  8,  the  Choir  conducted  the  morn-

Buckhannon,  rendering  their  regular  tour  pro-

in  Clarksburg  and  in  Parkersburg.  The  final

The  Guild  is  a  national  organization  with 
headquarters  in  New  York  City.  It  has  a  dual 
purpose,  one  of  which  is  improving  church 
music.  The  other,  and  probably  more  import- 
ant, is  the  promotion  of  the  organ  as  a 
concert    instrument. 

Local  chapters  are  located  in  nearly  all 
American  cities  and  are  connected  through- 
out the  country  with  many  music  schools, 
conservatories,  and  colleges  stressing  music. 
In  the  Wesleyan  chapter,  meetings  are  held 
at  which  musical  programs  intended  to  further 
these  purposes  are  presented. 

The  membership  is  composed  of  Buck- 
hannon  organists  and  students  studying  organ 
in   the  College.

campus  this  year  with  the  purpose  of  pro- 
moting the  study  of  the  French  language 
and  a  love  for  French  literature  and  culture. 

Members  of  the  society  are  chosen  from 
students  who  are  taking,  or  have  taken, 
French.  In  their  bi-monthly  meetings  they 
sing,  play  games,  read,  hear  lectures,  and 
learn  French  habits,  customs,  and  colloquial 
expressions.  In  addition,  an  effort  is  made  to 
stimulate  interest  in  other  foreign  languages.

The  Spanish  Club  was  founded  this  year 
to  increase  interest  in  the  Spanish  language. 

At  the  bi-monthly  meetings  the  members 
enjoy  interesting  programs  designed  to  inform 
as  well  as  entertain,  and  to  promote  good 
will  toward  our  neighbors  in  the  southern 
hemisphere. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  McKee  are  the  sponsors  and 
organizers  and  have  done  much  to  foment 
interest.  They  have  presented  lectures  from 
time  to  time  on  phases  of  Spanish  literature, 
music,  history,  and  customs.  Mrs.  McKee,  a

Under  the  sponsorship  of  Professor  William 
Hallam,  the  Radio  Club  was  organized  in 
October,  1946.  Professor  Hallam,  vitally  inter- 
ested in  radio  himself,  encourages  all  persons 
interested   in   radio  to  join  the  group. 

Weekly  meetings  are  held  on  Wednesdays 
at  which  the  members  work  on  radio  sets  and 
study  code  and  other  phases  of  amateur 
broadcasting.  Their  purpose  is  to  develop  an 
interest  in  amateur  radio,  helping  members 
to  obtain  their  amateur  radio  licenses  under 
the  Federal  Communications  Commission 
regulations.  A  few  of  the  members  of  the 
club  are  active  in  the  new  radio  station  set 
up  in  Weston,  with  studios  in  the  College, 
early   in  the  second  semester. 

The  group  is  now  working  to  set  up  an 
amateur  station  in  which  the  whole  club 
may  participate.

the  best  possible  working  conditions  and  to 
form  a  unit  for  social  activities.  It  is  con- 
sidered an  honorary  organization. 

The  main  events  of  the  year  for  this  group 
consisted  of  a  Valentine  party  at  the  residence 
of  Ed  Crow,  the  daily  "coffee  club"  and  song 
fest,  and  a  waiter's  banquet  at  the  end  of

Students  from  the  northern  panhandle  of 
the  state  of  West  Virginia  compose  the  mem- 
bership of  this  active  social  organization.  In 
addition  to  its  primary  social  function,  the 
group  exists  to  promote  the  interests  of 
Wesleyan    in   the    northern    panhandle. 

There  is  an  alumni  panhandle  group  in 
Wheeling.  At  Christmas  the  two  groups  held 
a  Christmas  party  at  the  YMCA  in  Wheeling. 
Board  of  Trustees  President,  Mr.  Clyde  O.

This  group,  whose  membership  is  composed 
of  those  students  and  members  of  the  Faculty 
native  to  Pennsylvania,  exists  to  promote 
Wesleyan's  interests  in  the  Keystone  State  as 
well  as  to  bring  together  Pennsylvanians 
interested  in  planning  social  activities  for  the 
benefit  of  both  the  group  itself  and  the 
campus  community  at   large. 

Only  loosely  organized  this  past  year,  no 
list  of  members  was  kept,  but  approximately 
75  persons  attended  a  "weiner  roast"  held 
in  the  City  Park  at  the  beginning  of  the

The  Phoenix  Club,  a  male  social  organiza- 
tion formed  to  promote  fellowship  among  its 
members  here  on  the  campus  and  after 
graduation,  was  organized  in  October,  1947. 
Their  aim  is  to  take  active  part,  as  a  group, 
in  all  phases  of  campus  activity. 

They  began  the  year  by  entering  a  float  in 
the  Homecoming  Parade.  This  was  followed 
by  the  participation  of  two  active  teams  in 
the  intramural  basketball  tournament;  these 
teams  tied  each  other  for  top  honors  during 
the  season.  On  March  5th,  the  Club  sponsored 
an  all-campus  dance  at  the  Buckhannon 
Lion's  Club  den.  This  activity  proved  to  be  a 
very  bright  spot  in  the  campus  program. 


Club  meetings  are  held  on  the  second  and 
third  Tuesdays  of  each  month.  They  are  a 
non-fraternity  group  and  are  recognized  as  a 
full-fledged  organization  on  the  campus  by 
the  Community  Council.  Several  of  their 
members  are  well  known  on  the  campus — 
among  them,  "Sac"  (Jim)  Hall,  the  campus 
Kilroy.  President  of  the  Community  Council 
Bill  Pugh,  and  Bob  Brannon,  radio  announcer 
and  star  of  the  Senior  musical,  "New 
Orleans,"  are  also  among  the  well-known 
members.  Many  of  the  men  on  the  basketball 
squad  and  two  of  the  football  stars  appear 
on  the  membership  roster  of  this  organization

Senun  Scouts 


In  April,  1947,  a  small  group  of  students,  who  were  once 
active  Boy  Scouts,  got  together  and  decided  to  form  a  campus 
chapter  of  the  national  Scout  fraternity,  the  Alpha  Phi  Omega. 
Led  by  Jack  Snyder,  the  group  took  a  census  of  the  student  body 
and  found  that  1 52  men  had  at  one  time  been  Scouts.  Of  this 
number,  three  were  Eogle  Scouts,  the  highest  rank  in  Boy 
Scouting. 

The  national  headquarters  of  the  fraternity  sent,  in  May, 
material  for  the  group  to  build  a  chapter  on  the  campus,  but 
since  the  end  of  the  schoolyear  was  so  near  only  a  small 
beginning  was  accomplished  at  that  time.  When  the  College 
opened  again  in  September  the  group  continued  its  efforts  to 
attain  the  membership  required  to  activate  the  chapter.  When, 
at  length,  the  group  found  it  was  unable  to  achieve  this  quota 
due  primarily  to  the  financial  obligation  required,  it  was  decided 
to  waste  no  more  time  in  an  inactive  status.  On  December  3, 
1947,  it  was  moved  and  passed  that  the  potential  campus 
chapter  of  the  Alpha  Phi  Omega  fraternity  dissolve  and  reorganize 
in   the   senior   scouting   category   of   the    Scout   Movement. 

With  the  help  of  District  Commissioner  Thurman  Frashure, 
it  was  decided  the  group  could  best  organize  itself  as  a  Scout 
Explorer    Post.     In    April,     1948,    the    group    received    its    national 


post  charter  in  which  it  was  officially  designated  as  the  West 
Virginia    Scout    Explorer    Post    No.     129. 

Early  last  summer,  two  members  of  the  embryo  organization, 
Bill  and  Harvey  Brown,  went  to  aquatic  school  in  Ohio  for  five 
weeks.  They  were  qualified  there  to  work  as  life  guards  and 
swimming  instructors,  in  which  capacity  they  served  through  the 
summer  at  the  West  Virginia  Scout  Camp.  Two  other  members, 
Mel  Harold  and  Jack  Snyder,  attended  the  Crippled  Children's 
Camp  at  Camp  Horseshoe  where  they  served  as  instructors  and 
counselors. 

During  this  schoolyear  the  organization  sponsored  o  dance 
at  the  Student  Union  after  one  of  the  football  gomes,  and  in 
January  they  held  an  evening  of  games  and  dancing  also  at  the 
Student  Union.  A  substantial  amount  of  the  decorating  for  the 
St.  Patrick's  Day  dance  was  done  by  the  group.  The  College 
weekly  bulletins  ore  distributed  regularly  by  members  of  the 
Explorer    Post. 

Two  of  the  members,  Lejeune  Lewis  and  Bob  Lindstedt,  serve 
as  Scoutmaster  and  Assistant  Scoutmaster,  respectively,  of  the 
local  Boy  Scout  troops.  Thurman  Frashure  is  District  Commis- 
sioner of  Upshur  County.  Jack  Snyder  is  one  of  only  two 
registered    Chaplains    in    West    Virginia.

Tracing  only  superficially  the  unmarked  passageway  laid 
out  by  the  unnumbered  schoolyears  journeying  through  Time 
in  minute-measured  precision  out  of  the  future,  through  the 
present,  thence  into  the  lost,  unremembered,  infinite  past, 
the  1947-48  schoolyear  seems  one  with  those  it  has  followed. 
It  is  one  only  seemingly,  however;  the  skillful,  busy  brush  of 
Change,  working  tirelessly,  subtly,  has  made  the  year  unique 
for  those  of  us  from  whose  lives  the  seconds  and  minutes  of 
this  year  were  mined  by  the   flooding  tides. 

We'll  remember  the  year  for  its  being  more  than  a  cease- 
less succession  of  weary  days  and  endless  nights;  often, 
perhaps,  it  was  only  that,  but  more  often,  it  was  an  intense, 
throbbing,  living  thing  that  lifted  our  hearts  with  its  courage, 
its  cry  of  hope  in  the  darkness.  We'll  remember  the  year  not 
for  its  total  impression — few  will  stop  to  tally  it  in  that 
sense — ,  but  we  will  hoard  among  our  memories  its  high- 
lights which  we  see  in  retrospection  as  the  climbing  crests  of 
the  surging  wavelets  breasting  the  great  time-river  moving 
the  year  out  into  the  lost,  unshored  sea  of  Time  past. 

(Ed.  note:  Those  unfamiliar  with  the  mechanical  processes 
of  yearbook  composition  may  question  the  inclusion  of  some 
1946-47  schoolyear  pictures  while  some  of  this  year's  signifi- 
cant events  have  gone  unpictured.  The  answer  is  simply  this: 
an  annual  scheduled  for  delivery  in  May  cannot  include 
pictures  taken  after  mid-February  due  to  the  long  interval 
required  to  complete  the  mechanical  processes  between 
taking  the  pictures  and  delivering  the  finished  engravings 
to  the  printer.  As  a  result,  either  events  occurring  after  mid- 
February  go  unpictured  entirely  or,  as  in  this  case  we  have 
done,  those  pictures  are  carried  over  to  the  following  year's 
annual.)

".  .  .  there  is  time  there.  (Have  we  not  heard  strange  time, 
dark  time,  strange  tragic  time  there?  Have  we  not  heard 
dark  time,  strange  time,  the  dark,  the  moving  tide  of  time 
as  it  flows  down  the  river?)" 

Its  short  course  run,  the  1947-48  schoolyear  is  now 
blended  imperceptibly  into  the  vast,  void,  rising  sea  of  Time 
past,  Time  lost,  Time  forever  beyond.  Not  an  hour,  a  minute, 
a  tiny,  infinitesimal  second  shall  ever  return  to  do  our 
bidding.   It  is  all   irrevocably  lost,  all  forever-gone. 

And  yet,  who  can  deny  the  memories,  the  faint  tracings 
of  the  flood's  tide-morks,  left  behind  by  the  year  as  it  was 
swept  relentlessly  seaward?  Are  not  these  present  evidences 
tangible  assurance  the  year  is  not  entirely  gone — that  some 
of  it  will  live  forever  with  us?  Surely  Change  will  not  com- 
pletely disavow  all  this — surely  Time  will  not  erode  these 
tracings  so  thoroughly  as  to  leave  us  nothing  of  this  year; 
some  parts  of  it  will  surely  remain  indissolubly  within  us. 
And  yet,  yet: 

".  .  .  in  the  night  time,  in  the  dark  there,  in  all  the  sleep- 
ing silence  of  the  earth  have  we  not  heard  the  river,  the  rich 
immortal  river,  full  of  its  strange  dark  timei3"

A  pack  of  cigarettes  costs  more  than  wonder 
working  NATURAL  GAS,  the  world's  greatest  fuel. 

Our  45,760  household  consumers  pay  an 
average  of  only  \2ViC  a  day  for  house  and  water 

heating,  cooking  and  refrigeration  AND  the 

price  is  the  same  as  before  the  war.
